All of the good gifts given today

Back in the cities they have different ways

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

It's Christmas for cowboys and wide open plains

A campfire for warmth as we stop for the night

The stars overhead are Christmas tree lights

The wind sings a hymn as we bow down to pray

It's Christmas for cowboys and wide open plains
