When a Cowboy Cries

Some men shoot whiskey Some men drink wine To drown out a memory That they can't outride When a cowboy cries Out on the range Such a lone spot to be It's breakdowns in ghost towns With old tumbleweeds When a cowboy cries When a cowboy cries The skies open up And the tears fall like rain He's gone with the wind When it whispers her name He grabs his pride Pulls his hat down to hide Cuz it ain't just the dust in his eyes When a cowboy cries It's been a long, hard cold winter Sleepin' by the fire Dreams burn like embers In the middle of the night When a cowboy cries When a cowboy cries The skies open up And the tears fall like rain He's gone with the wind When it whispers her name He grabs his pride Pulls his hat down to hide Cuz it ain't just the dust in his eyes When a cowboy cries He falls down and gets right back up But you know that he's had enough When a cowboy cries When a cowboy cries The skies open up And the tears fall like rain He's gone with the wind When it whispers her name He grabs his pride Pulls his hat down to hide Cuz it ain't just the dust in his eyes When a cowboy cries When a cowboy cries
