Lyrics
V1
Life builds character, experience builds wisdom
Those were words he sharedas he drank his rum
He saidthat's a motto to live by
There's no use in wondering why
Don't try to control things you can't control
Nature cures a blood-stained soul
And he had seen his share of sorrow
We can be here today and gone tomorrow
Bridge
That's a cowboy's wisdom
V2
The rain will come and wash away his pain
Since his wife's been gone, he's not been the same
So lonesome, he prayed to God out loud
He saw a small opening in acloud
At that moment he felt her there
And he knew God had heard his prayer
The rain made him feel alive
'Cause he could feel her love inside
Bridge
He was thankful for his Cowboy wisdom
Chorus
He rode the plains and the mountainside
Living off the land gave him a sense of pride
He prayed that when it was his turn to die
He'dbe ridin' the trail and that night he'd lie
Underneath the tree, with a nearby stream
Close to the earth, that's a cowboy dream
He holds on to that cowboy wisdom
V3
Working hard is a cowboy's life
It was easier when he had his wife
She kept him warm on those cold, cold nights
Until then, there wasn't much comfort in sight
He thanked the Lord as he bowed his head
And that night when he went to bed
He counted stars but one was extra bright
His faith in God was hisguiding light
That is a cowboy's wisdom
Chorus
He rode the plains and the mountainside
Living off the land gave him a sense of pride
He prayed that when it was his turn to die
He'dbe ridin' the trail and that night he'd lie
Underneath the tree, with a nearby stream
Close to the earth, that's a cowboy dream
He holds on to that cowboy wisdom
Outro
And as he closed his eyes that night
In a gentle rain, his soul too flight
Guided by that cowboy wisdom
