Colby Yates - When A Cowboy Cries Lyrics

Daddy knew that he was tuff
When old doc Windsor slapped his butt
The night he was born
He just smiled

Bed sheets for a parachute
He jumped off that old barn roof
When old doc set his arm
He said I guess I was wrong thinking I could fly

He‘s been busted, bruised, and broken, brushed it off and kept on going, but not tonight…
I know it must hurt like hell
When a cowboy cries

Got rolled in a holdin pen
By a rank bull out in old Cheyenne
They say he broke five ribs
Nearly lost his left eye

One night he straightened out a curve
With a pick up truck outside Fort Worth
When they finally cut him out
Put a Marlboro in his mouth
And bummed a light

He‘s been busted, bruised, and broken, brushed it off and kept on going, but not tonight…
I know it must hurt like hell
When a cowboy cries

And as a teardrop hit his whiskey glass
He said the only true love I’ll ever have
Just walked out the door
She said she didn’t love me anymore.

Yeah, He‘s been busted, bruised, and broken, brushed it off and kept on going, but not tonight…
Not tonight
It must hurt like hell
It must hurt like hell
When a cowboy cries
