Chorus
It’s so hard to be the Christian cowboy
With no more dancing girls and drunken barroom fights
How I miss those honky-tonks and shooting pool all night
Beneath the dim dance hall lights

Verse
I once was a restless and weary wanderer
And I roamed, I roamed from town to town
I drank whiskey, oh that whiskey yeah I drank some
When they lined em up you bet I drank em down

Chorus
It’s so hard to be the Christian cowboy
With no more dancing girls and drunken barroom fights
How I miss those honky-tonks and shooting pool all night
Beneath the dim dance hall lights

Verse
But in my heart lord you knew that I was lonesome
That I’d grown tired of always moving round
So I traded in my sin for your salvation
Lord I picked up your bible and I layed my bottle down

Chorus
Now I’m proud to be the Christian cowboy
With no more dancing girls and drunken barroom fights
I don’t miss those honky-tonks or shooting pool all night
Yes I’m proud to be the Christian cowboy
Yes I’m proud to be the Christian cowboy
