On the eighth day God noticed a problem For there below him stood a cowboy alone Stubborn and proud, reckless and loud God knew he'd never make it on his own So God looked out all over creation And listened as that cowboy prayed God took passion and thunder Patience and wonder then he sent down The best thing that God ever made.
(chorus) Cowboys and angels leather and lace Salt of the earth meets heavenly grace Cowboys and angels tested and tried It's a long way to heaven And one hell of a ride.
Nothin's changed since the dawn of creation For you will find them together today And only heaven above them knows why She loves him But he must be the reason she don't fly away.
*chorus* It's a long way to heaven And one hell of a ride.
