Her Daddy gave her
her first pony
Then told her to ride
She climbed
high in that saddle
Fell I don't know
how many times
He taught her a lesson
that she learned
Maybe a little too well
Cowgirls don't cry
Ride baby ride
Lessons in life are goin'
to show you in time
Soon enough
your gonna know why
It's gonna hurt
every now and then
If you fall get back on again
Cowgirls don't cry
She grew up
She got married
Never was quite right
She wanted a house
a home and babies
He started comin'
home late at night
She didn't let him
see it break her heart
She didn't let him
see her fall apart
'Cause cowgirls don't cry
Ride baby ride
Lessons in life are goin'
to show you in time
Soon enough
your gonna know why
It's gonna hurt
every now and then
If you fall get back on again
Cowgirls don't cry
Phone rang early one mornin'
Her momma's voice
she'd been cryin'
Said it's your daddy
You need to come home
This is it I think he's dyin'
She laid the phone
down by his head
The last words that he said
Cowgirl don't cry
Ride baby ride
Lessons in life
show us all in time
Too soon God
lets you know why
If you fall get right back on
Good Lord calls
everybody home
Cowgirl don't cry
