/// COWGIRL'S PRAYER ///

Once upon the land down South
'neath the Lone Star sky,
a lonely cowgirl rides
as she hangs her head to cry.
She removes her hat in honor
in her native untamed land,
looking over the canyon
a yellow rose held tightly in her hand.

(...)

"One more thing I need to ask,
when you send my cowboy home,
make darn sure he knows we're Texas proud
in this land where buffalo roam."
