What she saw in him was an answer
He found himself in her eyes
Too young to know any better
They launched and promised their lives

With passion soon there were children
Tough times were not far behind
It must be the stuff they were made of
That kept all those big dreams alive

When you know that what you have is all you need
And the innocence of youth can plant the seed
With some luck and many prayers and a vision you can share
It can lead you through the love and the long run

As they toast to the years spent together
With the loved ones they’ve gathered tonight
And to all they have reached and have given
Because of a love that survived
When you know that what you have is all you need
And the innocence of youth helps to believe
With some luck and many prayers, and a vision you can share
It can lead you to the love and the long run

For how many can this song be sung, so few have made it
through, the love and long run

When you know that what you have is all you need
then the grace of what you know can set you free
with some luck and many prayers, and a vision you can share
It can lead you to the love,
Bring you to the love,
May it carry you through love and the long, long, run

A conscious cowboy keeps on growing, always one to speak his heart
A conscious cowboy’s love is flowing,
just waiting for that right woman’s spark

She’s looking for a conscious cowboy, she can take or leave the hat
She’s so ready for the dance of some cowboy romance
She’s looking for a conscious, waiting for that conscious,
On to find her conscious cowboy
