We rode all night across an endless desert
  We had no moon to light our way
  And though a million stars were slowly turning
  We lacked the consciences to pray
  
  Our horses running like a devil chase us
  Their feet, they hardly touched the ground
  Yes, I'm familiar with a grey wolf howling
  But I'm certain I never heard that sound
  Devil to pay on judgement day
  Would Jesus strike me down if I should pray?
  This cowboy song is all I know
  To bring me back into your arms
  Your distant sun, your shining light
  You'll be my dog-star shining tonight
  
  I've been the lowest of the low on the planet
  I've been a sinner all my days
  When I was living with my hand on the trigger
  I had no sense to change my ways
  The preacher asked if I'd embrace the resurrection
  To suck the poison from my life
  Just like an existential cowboy villain
  His words were balanced on my knife
  Devil to pay, on judgement day
  Would Jesus strike me down if I should pray?
  
  This cowboy song is all I know
  To bring me back into your arms
  Your distant sun, your shining light
  You'll be my dog-star shining tonight
  
  Every night
  Every night
  All my distances afar
  
  This cowboy song, is all I know
  To bring me back into your arms
  This cowboy song, this cowboy life
  I'll be your dog-star shining tonight
  
  Dog-star...
