Verse 1

Hangs his hat upon a tree
Bows his head bends his knee
Only asks for what he needs
And Jesus listens
Little bread for today
Little water little shade
To forgive just as
He has been forgiven

Chorus

When a cowboy prays
It starts raining in Oklahoma
Long lost sons come home to momma
And those stubborn horses break
When a cowboy prays
It's a whisper and a rumble
It's as strong as it is humble
This old world just ain't the same
When a cowboy prays

Verse 2

Folds his calloused hands together
Round a Bible bound in leather
Just as worn and just as weathered
As the lines upon his face
All the horses in the stable
All his family round the table
All of Heaven listens in
To every word he has to say

Chorus

When a cowboy prays
It starts raining in Oklahoma
Long lost sons come home to momma
And those stubborn horses break
When a cowboy prays
It's a whisper and a rumble
It's as strong as it is humble
This old world just ain't the same

Refrain

When a cowboy prays
When a cowboy prays

Bridge

When a cowboy prays
It's for the grit and grace
To get back up again
When a cowboy prays
It starts with thanks and ends
In Jesus' name amen

Pre Chorus

When a cowboy prays
All of Heaven listens
When a cowboy prays
You don’t wanna miss it

Chorus

When a cowboy prays
It starts raining in Oklahoma
Long lost sons come home to momma
And those stubborn horses break
When a cowboy prays
It's a whisper and a rumble
It's as strong as it is humble
This old world just ain't the same

Refrain

When a cowboy prays
When a cowboy prays
