God Must Be A Cowboy

Night life and big cities is alright for a while
Sure makes you feel good when you're there
But the country's so pretty it goes on and on for miles.
Takes away my troubles and my cares.

I read an article about Jimmy Buffett a few years back about his career. He started out singing country music, but after his first visit to Key West, he changed. He fell in love with the area, and it changed his whole outlook on life. This new outlook permeated his career and made him the success that he is today.

I recently had a similar experience when I visited Fredericksburg. The Texas hill country is definitely God's country. I can't remember the last time that I had felt so at peace. It changed something inside of me, and has caused me to start making some changes to simplify my life again.

I think God must be a cowboy at heart
He made wide open spaces from the start.
He made grass and trees and mountains and a horse to be a friend
And trails to lead old cowboys home again.

New ideas, new goals, and a new simple plan are... on this cowboys mind.
