Cowboys Cry Too

Lyrics

[Intro: Kelsea Ballerini] Mm [Verse 1: Kelsea Ballerini] He's as tough as the tattoos up his right arm And I've talked him down from getting in a fight or two He stands his ground, he's as stubborn as the weeds in the backyard 'Cause growing up he had to go where the wind blew He hides his heart and hurt, guess he kinda had to In a world that says, "Saddle up and be a man" When the sun goes down and his hazel eyes go blue That's when I understand [Chorus: Kelsea Ballerini] Cowboys cry too They may not let 'em fall down in their hometown thinkin' they still got shit to prove That well runs deep But when he's showin' his skin, lettin' mе in, that's when he's toughest to mе I never knew cowboys cry too [Verse 2: Noah Kahan, Noah Kahan & Kelsea Ballerini] I grew up wishing I could close off the way my dad did 'Cause that man never felt a damn thing he didn't wanna feel But I've burned too many miles tryna ride out all the sadness But you can't outdrive pain, someday it's gonna take the wheel Can't be alone, but don't wanna get close to anybody Don't wanna bare teeth, but don't wanna look weak, it's a tough spot But I'm afraid you'll walk away when the tears start runnin' But I hope not [Chorus: Kelsea Ballerini & Noah Kahan] 'Cause cowboys cry too They may not let 'em fall down in their hometown thinkin' they still got shit to prove That well runs deep But when he's showin' his skin, lettin' me in, that's when he's toughest to me I never knew cowboys cry too [Bridge: Kelsea Ballerini & Noah Kahan, Kelsea Ballerini, Noah Kahan] Blame it on their fathers The ones that said they'd stay Or blame it on the songs that tell you they all ride away But mine ain't that way I ain't that way [Chorus: Kelsea Ballerini, Kelsea Ballerini & Noah Kahan, Noah Kahan] Cowboys cry too They may not let 'em fall down in their hometown thinkin' they still got shit to prove That well runs deep (Deep) But when he's showin' his skin, lettin' me in, that's when he's toughest to me I never knew cowboys cry too Mm
