[Verse 1] 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, Im familiar with a grey wolf howling But Im certain I never heard that sound [PreChorus] Devil to pay on judgement day Would Jesus strike me down if I should pray? [Chorus] This cowboy song is all I know To bring me back into your arms Your distant sun, your shining light Youll be my dogstar shining tonight [Verse 2] Ive been the lowest of the low on the planet Ive 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 Id embrace the resurrection To suck the poison from my life Just like an existential cowboy villain His words were balanced on my knife [PreChorus] [Chorus] [Bridge] Every night[x2] All my distances afar [Chorus] [Outro] Dogstar
