As recorded by Brandon Lake (2025 release) [Intro] G C [Verse 1]
          Em7  D/F#  G
Hangs his hat upon a tree

         C               G
Bows his head, bends his knee

     C                Em         G     D
Only asks for what he needs, and Jesus listens

         Em7   D/F#  G
A little bread for today

         C               G
A little water, a little shade

      C            G              D
To forgive just as he has been forgiven
[Chorus]

When a cowboy prays

It starts raining in Oklahoma

Long lost sons come home to momma

'Round a Bible bound in leather

        C        D       Em
Just as worn and just as weathered

G      D
As the lines upon his face

        Em     D/F#   G
All the horses in the stable

        C                 G
All his family 'round the table

All of Heaven listens in to every word he has to say
