Cowboy Come Home

(Michael Allen Ott)
Michael Allen Ott

verse one

Early one morning I got into trouble with Ma

so I ran and I hid, I didn't want a whoopin' from Pa.

Way across the valley I ran and hid out all day,

When darkness was falling around me I heard Mama say.

chorus

Come Home, cowboy come home,

This world is no place for a cowboy to be all alone

Come home, cowboy come home,

Your father's not angry with you cowboy come home.

verse two

When I got older I drifted away into sin.

The sunday school lessons I learned blew away with the wind.

In dark desperation one night, I started to pray.

Then through the stillness of night I heard Jesus say.

chorus

Come home, cowboy come home.

This world is no place for a cowboy to be all alone.

Come home, cowboy come home.

Your Father's not angry with you,

cowboy come home.

verse three

If you're still stumblin' through life with no hope at all,

or maybe you're runnin' and too scared to answer His call.

If the troubles of life are too tough to handle alone,

can't you hear Him calling to you,

cowboy come home.

chorus

Come home, cowboy come home.

This world is no place for a cowboy to be all alone.

Come home, cowboy come home.

Your Father's not angry with you

cowboy come home.
