This Cowboy Song - Sting

Written by：Sting

We rode all night across an endless desert

We had no Moon to light our way

And though a billion stars were slowly turning

We lacked the consciences to pray

Our horses running like devil chasers

Those feet they hardly touched the ground

Yes I'm familiar with the grey wolves howling

But I'm certain I never heard this sound

Devil to pay

On judgement day

Would Jesus strike me down

If I should pray this cowboy song

It's 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 have

I have

I've been the lowest of the low on the planet

I've been a sinner all my days

And I was living with my hand on the trigger

I had no sense to change my ways

The priest 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

It's 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

All my distances a far

This cowboy song

It's 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

Dog star

Dog star

Dog star
