cowboys cry too

Kelsea Ballerini

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
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 m? in, that s when he s toughest to m?
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
