Christmas for cowboys

Tall in the saddle we spend Christmas day
Driving the cattle on the snow-covered plains.
All of the good gifts given today
Ours is the sky and the wide open range.

Back in the cities, they have different ways,
Football and eggnog and Christmas parades.
I'll take the blanket I'll take the reins
Christmas for Cowboys and wide open plains.

A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night
The stars overhead are the Christmas-tree lights.
The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray
Christmas for Cowboys and the wide open plains.

It's tall in the saddle we spend Christmas Day,
Driving the cattle on the snow-covered plains.
So many gifts have been opened today
Ours is the sky and the wide open range.
It's Christmas for Cowboys and wide open plains.
