And I´ve talked him down from getting in a fight or two He stands his ground, he´s as stubborn as the weeds in the backyard ´Cause growing 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´ they still got shit to prove That well runs deep But when he´s showin´ his skin, lettin´ me in, that´s when he´s toughest to me
I never knew cowboys cry too
I grew up wishing I could close off the way my dad did ´Cause that man never felt a damn 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
´Cause cowboys cry too They may not let ´em fall down in their hometown thinkin´ they still got shit to prove That well runs deep But when he´s showin´ his skin, lettin´ me in, that´s when he´s toughest to me 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´ they still got shit to prove That well runs deep (Deep) But when he´s showin´ his skin, lettin´ me in, that´s when he´s toughest to me I never knew cowboys cry too Mm
