She told you a hundred times you would have to pick a side
The white line chasin' carnie life or her
Well I guess she finally called your bluff cuz there she is in that ol' truck
Pullin out the drive without a word
Everybody knows that tough ol cowboys never cry
You brace against the cold and try to hold it all inside
If something shows in your eyes as her red tail lights
Roll off into the night and fade away just blame it on the rain
That trusty fifth of JD Black is like your favorite old felt hat
Neither one'll stop the weather but it keeps it off your face
You can curse the devil cuss the dust the hard times and your busted luck
But it wasn't you that made her leave that way blame it on the rain
Everybody knows that tough ol cowboys never cry
You brace against the cold and try to hold it all inside
If something shows in your eyes as her red tail lights
Roll off into the night and fade away just blame it on the rain
Yeah everybody knows that this ol' cowboy never cries
Cnd I'll brace against the cold and try to hold it all inside
If something shows in my eyes as her red tail lights
Roll off into the night and fade away I'll just blame it on the rain
I'll just blame it on the rain
