Mm-mm
He's as tough as the tattoos up his right arm
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 'cause 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
Thinking they still got - to prove
That well runs deep
But when he's showing his skin, letting me in
That's when he's toughest to me
I never knew
Cowboys cry too
Well, 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 running
But I hope not
'Cause cowboys cry too
May not let 'em fall down in their hometown
Thinking they still got - to prove
That well runs deep
But when he's showing his skin, letting 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 I ain't that way (I ain't that way)
Cowboys cry too
They may not let 'em fall down in their hometown
Thinking they still got - to prove
That well runs deep (deep)
But when he's showing his skin, letting me in
That's when he's toughest to me
I never knew
Cowboys cry too
