Mm mm mm mm mm
He's as tough as the tattoos
up his right arm
And I've talked him down from
gettin' in a fight or two
He stands his ground
He's as stubborn as the weeds
in the backyard
'Cause growin' up
He had to go where the
wind blew
He hides his heart and hurt
Guess he kinda had to
In a world that says
Saddle up and be a man
When the sun goes down
And his hazel eyes go blue
That's when I understand
Cowboys cry too
They may not let 'em fall down
in their hometown thinkin' the
still got s*** to prove
That well runs deep
But when he's showin' his skin
Lettin' mе in
That's when he's toughest
to mе
I never knew
Cowboys cry too
I grew up wishin' I could
close off the way my dad did
'Cause that man never
felt a d*** thing he didn't
wanna feel
But I've burned too many
miles tryna ride out
all the sadness
But you can't outdrive pain
Someday it's gonna
take the wheel
Can't be alone
But don't wanna get
close to anybody
Don't wanna bare teeth
But don't wanna look weak
It's a tough spot
But I'm afraid you'll walk away
when the tears start runnin'
But I hope not
Cowboys cry too
They may not let 'em fall down
in their hometown thinkin' the
still got s*** to prove
That well runs deep
But when he's showin' his skin
Lettin' mе in
That's when he's toughest
to mе
I never knew
Cowboys cry too
Blame it on their fathers
The ones that said they'd stay
Or blame it on the songs that
tell you they all ride away
But mine ain't that way
I ain't that way
Cowboys cry too
They may not let 'em fall down
in their hometown thinkin' the
still got s*** to prove
That well runs deep
But when he's showin' his skin
Lettin' mе in
That's when he's toughest
to mе
I never knew
Cowboys cry too
