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 **** 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 **** to prove
But when he's showin' his skin lettin' me in
That's when he's toughest to me
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
That well runs deep deep
