We rode all night across an endless desert  We had no moon to light our way  And though a million stars were slowly turning  We lacked the consciences to pray    Our horses running like a devil chase us  Their feet, they hardly touched the ground  Yes, I'm familiar with a grey wolf howling  But I'm certain I never heard that sound  Devil to pay on judgement day  Would Jesus strike me down if I should pray?  This cowboy song is all I know  To bring me back into your arms  Your distant sun, your shining light  You'll be my dog-star shining tonight    I've been the lowest of the low on the planet  I've been a sinner all my days  When I was living with my hand on the trigger  I had no sense to change my ways  The preacher asked if I'd embrace the resurrection  To suck the poison from my life  Just like an existential cowboy villain  His words were balanced on my knife  Devil to pay, on judgement day  Would Jesus strike me down if I should pray?    This cowboy song is all I know  To bring me back into your arms  Your distant sun, your shining light  You'll be my dog-star shining tonight    Every night  Every night  All my distances afar    This cowboy song, is all I know  To bring me back into your arms  This cowboy song, this cowboy life  I'll be your dog-star shining tonight    Dog-star...
