This bar's the only place we've seen him since she left him
There he goes stumbling back to his stool
Me and all my friends shake our heads say what a fool
She was, what a fool she is
Does he know he has the kind of eyes you hate to see crying
Somebody oughta to let him know so those tears get to drying
It's hurting everybody in this room
To see a cowboy looking so blue, blue, cowboy blue
He's the backbone of this town, nothing ever keeps him down
If he gets bucked off, he's right back on his feet
His hands tell a story of a fighter, did he just break the mystique
Or does love make us all weak
His hat is hanging lower than it usually does
Somebody oughta let him know he's still the man he always was
It's hurting everybody in this room
To see a cowboy looking so blue, blue, cowboy blue
She put the ring back in his hand
Went and and wrecked all his plans
There is nothing you can say
He's gonna drink his blues away
Does he know he has the kind of heart you hate to see breaking
I think that I'll ask him if a dance might ease the aching
It's killing me, killing me
To see that cowboy looking so blue, blue, cowboy blue
