Hop on that saddle Before the morning comes I've spent my whole life kickin' up the dust I can't settle To save my life I led the lonesome ride Been ridin' through the night If Jesus was a cowboy He'd have done it too Took that shot of whiskey Walked across that bar room Dusted off the saddle Put on His boots And spent His whole lonesome life Chasin' gold, chasin' whiskey, chasin' you When midnight falls I light up that fire The one you tried to kill inside this lonely cowboy heart And in the moonlight I'll bathe in the river I'll light up that cigar I'll play this old guitar And sing If Jesus was a cowboy He'd have done it too Took that shot of whiskey Walked across that bar room Dusted off the saddle Put on His boots And spent His whole lonesome life Chasin' gold, chasin' whiskey, chasin' you Chasin' gold, chasin' whiskey, chasin' you
