Pawlo-X - When Cowboys Cry Lyrics

They say a cowboy's heart is as tough
As the leather on his boots
But even the strongest hearts have their breaking point
Out on the range where the wild winds blow
A man can hide what he don't wanna show
But tonight, under this Texas sky
I've got no strength left to deny
The moonlight hits this dusty ground
Where she once stood, where we'd dance around
Now it's just me and this old campfire
And a love burned out, but the pain won't tire
When cowboys cry, it's a quiet thing
No tears in the saddle, no voice to sing
But their hearts break loud under the open sky
Yeah, even the toughest fall when cowboys cry
Her goodbye hit like a stampede run
Knocked me down like the setting sun
I told myself I'd ride it through
But every mile just leads back to you
The bottle of whiskey don't do the trick
Every swig just makes the ache stick
And I'd trade my boots, my pride, my reins
To hold her close and ease these pains
When cowboys cry, it's a silent fight
Behind a weathered face in the dead of night
But their hearts break loud under the open sky
Yeah, even the strongest break when cowboys cry
The cattle don't care about a broken man
The trail don't stop for a lonely hand
But the stars they see what the world don't know
A cowboy's tears where no one will go
When cowboys cry, it's a quiet storm
No letters written, no hearts to warn
But their souls break loud under the prairie sky
Yes, even the bravest bleed when cowboys cry
So I tip my hat to the love I lost
Count the miles and measure the cost
Underneath this stoic pride
Lies a broken heart where cowboys cry
It ain't weakness it's love
And love's the one thing that can
Bring a cowboy to his knees
