Verse 1:
(Kelsea):
He’s as tough as the tattoos up his right arm,
And I’ve talked him down from getting in a fight or 2,
He stands his ground, he’s a stubborn as the weeds in the backyard,
Cause growing up he had to go where wind blew,
He hides his heart and hurt cause he kinda had too,
In a world that says “Saddle up & be a man”,
When the sun goes down and his hazel eyes go blue,
That’s when I understand,
Chorus:
(Kelsea):
Cowboys cry too,
They may not let them fall down in their hometown,
Thinking they still got shit to prove,
That well runs deep,
But when he’s showing his skin,
Letting me in,
That’s when he’s toughest to me,
I never knew,
Cowboys cry too,
Verse 2:
(Noah):
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 buried too many miles trying to rid out all the sadness,
(Kelsea & Noah):
But you can’t out drive the 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 week,
It’s a tough spot,
But I’m afraid you’ll walk away when the tears start running,
But I hope not,
Chorus:
(Kelsea & Noah):
Cowboys cry too,
They may not let them fall down in their hometown,
Thinking they still got shit to prove,
That well runs deep,
But when he’s showing his skin,
Letting me in,
That’s when he’s toughest to me,
I never knew,
Cowboys cry too,
Bridge:
(Kelsea & Noah):
Blame it on their fathers,
The ones that said they’d stay,
Blame it on the song that tells you they all ride away,
(Kelsea):
But mine ain’t that say,
(Noah):
I ain’t that way
Chorus:
(Kelsea & Noah):
Cowboys cry too,
They may not let them fall down in their hometown,
Thinking they still got shit to prove,
That well runs deep,
But when he’s showing his skin,
Letting me in,
That’s when he’s toughest to me,
I never knew,
Cowboys cry too
