Her Daddy gave her, her first pony,
'Nd taught her to ride.
She climbed high in that saddle,
Fell I d'no how may times.
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're 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,
It never was quite right.
She wanted a house, a home in Vegas,
He started coming home late at night.
She didn't let him see it break her heart,
She didn't let him see her fall apart.
Coz Cowgirls Don't Cry
Ride baby, Ride.
Lessons in life are gonna show you in time,
Soon enough, you're gonna know why.
It's gonna hurt every now and then,
If you fall get back on again.
Cowgirls Don't Cry
Phone rings early one morning,
Momma's voice - She'd been crying.
It's your Daddy, You need to come home,
This is it, I think he's dying.
She laid the phone down by his head.
Last words that he said:
Cowgirl Don't Cry
Ride baby, Ride
Lessons in life shown us all in time,
Asumed I'd let you know why.
If you fall get right back on!
Good Lord calls everybody home.
Cowgirl Don't Cry
