(Kent Blazy, Kim Williams, Garth Brooks)



On the eighth day God noticed a problem

For there below Him stood a cowboy alone

Stubborn and proud, reckless and loud

God knew he'd never make it on his own

So God looked out all over creation

And listened as that cowboy prayed

God took passion and thunder

Patience and wonder then He sent down

The best thing that God ever made



Cowboys and angels leather and lace

Salt of the earth meets heavenly grace

Cowboys and angels tested and tried

I'ts a long way to heaven

And one hell of a ride



Nothin's changed since the dawn of creation

For you will find them together today

And only heaven above them knows why

she loves him

But he must be the reason she don't fly away



Cowboys and angels leather and lace

Salt of the earth meets heavenly grace

Cowboys and angels tested and tried

It's a long way to heaven

And one hell of a ride



It's a long way to heaven

And one hell of a ride.
