"The Book" lyrics - GEORGE STRAIT

There's a book in my saddle
Written words to see me through
About a man who was a savior
Died and raised again for me and you

[Chorus:]
It's written, He'll come down ridin' on a big white stallion
With a band of angels on His trail
He ain't lookin' for no desperado, no
Just some good cowboys to save from a burnin' Hell

I believe what Jesus told me
That if you ask, you shall receive
And I wanna ride with that band of angels, yes, I do
When the good Lord says it's time for me to leave

[Chorus:]
It's written, He'll come down ridin' on a big white stallion
With a band of angels on His trail
He ain't lookin' for no desperado, no
Just some good cowboys to save from a burnin' Hell

[Instrumental break]

I don't worry 'bout what's behind me
He says the past is in the past
He won't give me what I can't handle, no
'Cause He told me that, one day, He's comin' back

[Chorus:]
It's written, He'll come down ridin' on a big white stallion
With a band of angels on His trail
He ain't lookin' for no desperado, no
Just some good cowboys to save from a burnin' Hell
Just some good cowboys to save from a burnin' Hell
