The Cowboy, The Poet, and The Saint Lyrics by Shane Pendergast

Winter Grace

2025

[Intro]
The cowboy, the poet, and the saint
[Verse 1]
There's a cowboy ridin' in to some old homestead
Underneath the blue Wyoming sky
And he will do his best to stand for freedom
Until the log is loosened from the night
[Chorus]
He has not come here to lay his roots down
Asking not for fortune nor for fame
And as he rides into the steeping sunset
You'll hear a young man calling out his name
[Verse 2]
There's a poet out there followin' a rainbow
As he stumbles down a crooked country road
He carries all the longings of his people
He's hunting for that cherished crock of gold
[Chorus]
He never claimed to be some kind of savior
But he won't hang his foggy head in shame
For though the passions of the world destroy him
He's used his words to make himself a name
[Verse 3]
Now there's a saint who's living in eternal glory
He only lived on Earth a couple days
But I can feel his presence all around me
For we were fashioned in familiar clay
[Chorus]
I danced upon his grave but not in malice
I only wanted to preserve the claim
I danced upon his grave 'cause he's my uncle
He and I were given the same name
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
Our heroes come in many forms and fashions
On matters of the mind, they sit and train
Some of them will charm you 'til you know them
Three of them might even share your name
[Chorus]
On dusty pages, I have trailed the cowboy
The lyrics of the poet carry weight
I hope to meet the saint someday in Heaven
The Good Lord lets me through the Pearly Gates
[Outro]
I can't help but fix my gaze upon them
The cowboy and the poet and the saint
