Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Her daddy gave her first pony
Told her to ride
She climbed high in that saddle
Fell I don't know how many times
Taught her a lesson that she learned
Maybe a little too well
[Verse 2]
Cowgirls don't cry
Ride, baby, ride
Lessons in life show us all in time
Soon enough, you're gonna know why
It's gonna hurt every now and then
When you fall, get back on again
Cowgirls don't cry
[Verse 3]
She grew up
She got married
But it never was quite right
Wanted a house, a home and babies
He started comin' home late at night
She didn't let him see it break her heart
Didn't let him see her fall apart
[Verse 4]
'Cause cowgirls don't cry
Ride, baby, ride
Lessons in life show us all in time
Soon enough, you're gonna know why
It's gonna hurt every now and then
When you fall, get back on again
Cowgirls don't cry
[Verse 5]
Phone rang early one morning
Her momma's voice, she'd been cryin'
Said, "It's your daddy, you need to come home
This is it, I think he's dyin'"
She laid the phone down by his head
The last words that he said
[Verse 6]
"Cowgirl, don't cry
Ride, baby, ride
Lessons in life show us all in time
Too soon, God let's you know why
If you fall, get right back on
Good Lord calls everybody home
Cowgirl, don't cry"
