Cowgirls Don't Cry

                                  Her daddy gave her, her first pony

Then taught her to ride

She climbed high in that saddle

Fell I don't know how many times

He taught her a lesson that she learned

Maybe a little too well



Cowgirls don't cry, ride, baby, ride

Lessons in life are gonna show you in time

Soon enough you gonna know why

It's gonna hurt every now and then

If you fall get back on again

Cowgirls don't cry



She grew up, she got married

But never was quite right

She wanted a house, a home and babies

He started comin' home late at night

She didn't let him see it break her heart

She didn't let him see her fall apart



'Cause cowgirls don't cry, ride, baby, ride

Lessons of life are gonna show you in time

Soon enough you gonna know why

It's gonna hurt every now and then

If you fall get back on again

Cowgirls don't cry



Phone rang early one mornin'

Her momma's voice, she'd been cryin'

Said it's your daddy, you need to come home

This is it, I think he's dyin'

She laid the phone down by his head

Last words that he said



Cowgirls don't cry, ride, baby, ride

Lessons of life show us all in time

Too soon God will let you know why

If you fall get right back on

The good Lord calls everybody home

Cowgirl don't cry.
