[Verse 1]Her Daddy gave her, her first ponyThen taught her to rideShe climbed high in that saddleFell I don't know how many timesHe taught her a lesson that she learnedMaybe a little too well[Chorus]Cowgirls don't cryRide, baby, rideLessons in life are going to show you in timeSoon enough your going to know whyIt's going to hurt every now and thenIf you fall get back on againCowgirls don't cry[Verse 2]She grew upShe got marriedNever was quite rightShe wanted a house, a home and babiesHe started coming home late at nightShe didn't let him see it break her heartShe didn't let him see her fall apart[Chorus]Cowgirls don't cryRide, baby, rideLessons in life are going to show you in timeSoon enough your going to know whyIt's going to hurt every now and thenIf you fall get back on againCowgirls don't cry[Verse 3]Phone rang early one morningHer momma's voice, she'd been cryingSaid it's your daddy, you need to come homeThis is it, I think he's dyingShe laid the phone down by his headThe last words that he said[Chorus-Reba McEntire]Cowgirls don't cryRide, baby, rideLessons in life show us all in timeToo soon God will let you know whyIf you fall get right back onThe good Lord calls everybody homeCowgirls don't cry
