Rodeo Preacher
He grew up on a straw horse
With a cap gun in his hand
In his dream he must have fought
Every outlaw in the land
When he turned eighteen
He joined the rodeo
He went from town to town
Breakin' horses and bones
He must have won a thousand trophies
Some say he was the best
He rode every bronc
That ever came out west
His body bore the scars
It was the price he had to pay
But he started drinkin' whiskey
Said it helped to ease the pain
Then one night in Oky city
He found a bible by his bed
John 3:16 had been underlined in red
And in that little run down motel
He met someone who turned his life around
Now he's rescued more cowboys
Than all the rodeo clowns
They call him rodeo preacher
He could ride them all
He would lend a helpin' hand
When some cowboy takes the fall
He worked the rodeo circuit
Calgary down to Galveston
He led cowboys to Jesus
That's how the west was won
They call him rodeo preacher
He could ride them all
He would lend a helpin' hand
When some cowboy takes the fall
He worked the rodeo circuit
Calgary down to Galveston
He led cowboys to Jesus
That's how the west was won
He led cowboys to Jesus
That's how the west was won
With a cap gun in his hand
In his dream he must have fought
Every outlaw in the land
When he turned eighteen
He joined the rodeo
He went from town to town
Breakin' horses and bones
He must have won a thousand trophies
Some say he was the best
He rode every bronc
That ever came out west
His body bore the scars
It was the price he had to pay
But he started drinkin' whiskey
Said it helped to ease the pain
Then one night in Oky city
He found a bible by his bed
John 3:16 had been underlined in red
And in that little run down motel
He met someone who turned his life around
Now he's rescued more cowboys
Than all the rodeo clowns
They call him rodeo preacher
He could ride them all
He would lend a helpin' hand
When some cowboy takes the fall
He worked the rodeo circuit
Calgary down to Galveston
He led cowboys to Jesus
That's how the west was won
They call him rodeo preacher
He could ride them all
He would lend a helpin' hand
When some cowboy takes the fall
He worked the rodeo circuit
Calgary down to Galveston
He led cowboys to Jesus
That's how the west was won
He led cowboys to Jesus
That's how the west was won
