How You Make a Cowboy Cry

He learned the saddle before he learned to walk, Learned to hold his horses and to hey y’all when he talked. Never let the world see tears in his eyes, Squintin at the sunset on another long day’s ride. Raised a couple kids, watched the seasons change Funny how the chairs rearrange A warm plate on the table Turned cold as winter came

A man can lose a buckle, lose a ranch, Start from nothing without a helping hand. But losing a gal is hard to take Even if he bends and doesn’t break

Maybe love’s sposed to ride off in the night Maybe hearts aren’t meant to fight Maybe she was always meant to say goodbye But lord he tried Sometimes things aren’t meant to be Sometimes if you get down on one knee But baby you left him out to dry That’s how you make a cowboy cry.

His Stetson hid the tears streamin down his face Life has a way of puttin a man in his place He’d laugh around the fire like nothing’s wrong, Then drive around drunk and stoned.
