Christmas For Cowboys

John Denver · Unplugged [2001]

Tall in the saddle, we spend Christmas Day

Driving the cattle over snow covered-plains

All of the good gifts given today

Ours is the sky and the wide open range



Back in the city they have different ways

Football and eggnog and Christmas parades

I'll take my blanket, I'll take the reins

It's Christmas for cowboys, wide-open plains



A campfire for warmth, as we stop for the night

The stars overhead for Christmas tree lights

The wind sings a hymn, as we bow down to pray

It's Christmas for cowboys and wide-open plains



Tall in the saddle, we spend Christmas Day

Driving the cattle over snow-covered plains

All of the good gifts given today

Ours is the sky and the wide open range



It's Christmas for cowboys and wide open plains
