Joe Peters - Cowboys Cry Lyrics

He can weather any storm
Handle all the pain
The blood on his shirt
Will wash off in the rain
He's built for this life that he chose
But there's a side of him nobody knows

He can roll with punches
Throw a few of his own
His hands are made of leather
But his heart ain't made of stone
When he gets thrown off
He might break some bones
Oh he won't shed a tear
He'll just climb back on and ride
But when a damn good dog dies
Sometimes cowboys cry

He's got scars on his knuckles
Whiskey on his breath
And he's got some demons
That he ain't outrun yet
So he keeps the wind at his back
And his troubles under his hat

He can roll with punches
Throw a few of his own
His hands are made of leather
But his heart ain't made of stone
When he gets thrown off
He might break some bones
Oh he won't shed a tear
He'll just climb back on and ride
But when a cowgirl says goodbye
Sometimes cowboys cry

When what he loves leaves
And nobody sees
Well take it from me
A cowboy like me

He can roll with punches
Throw a few of his own
His hands are made of leather
But his heart ain't made of stone
When he gets thrown off
He might break some bones
Oh he won't shed a tear
He'll just climb back on and ride
But when a grandpa gets his wings to fly
Sometimes cowboys cry
Sometimes cowboys cry

He can weather any storm
Handle all the pain
The blood on his shirt
Will wash off in the rain
