Cowboys & Angels

Lyrics of Cowboys & Angels in English

LYRICS

One night in Reno, I drove down a dirt road.
Not really knowing my way.
I stopped to get gas when a young lady asked me
if I might be going her way.
Her two hands were shaking, she started to cry
as she stood there and poured out her heart.
She said he had left her for somebody younger
and that it had drove them apart.
And I said, "Cowboys and angels are all what we're made of.
Some of us other than more.
Some ride the range while some others think strange.
It is better to love than to war.
Some carry holsters while others wear halos
and wonder what this fighting's for.
As the cowboys and angels we have in today's world,
are not like the cowboys and angels before.
Several years later back home in Missouri,
I saw the young lady by chance.
So I stumbled over and tapped on her shoulder
and asked her politely to dance.
And as we got closer, I finally told her
I'd waited for you all my life.
And in that split second, I hoped and I reckoned
that someday she'd end up my wife.
I said, "Cowboys and angels are all what we're made of.
Some of us other than more.
Some ride the range while some others think strange.
It is better to love than to war.
And some carry holsters while others wear halos
and wonder what this fighting's for.
'Cause the cowboys and angels we have in today's world
are not like the cowboys and angels before.
The years have been kind and we're doing fine,
and I'm sure proud to say
that three lovely angels now sit at our table
and I tell them every day.
That cowboys and angels are all what we're made of.
Some of us other than more.
Some ride the range while some others think strange.
It is better to love than to war.
And some carry holsters while others wear halos
and wonder what this fighting's for.
'Cause the cowboys and angels we have in today's world
are not like the cowboys and angels before.
Yeah, the cowboys and angels we have in today's world
are not like the cowboys and angels before.
