How A Cowboy Lives Lyrics

How A Cowboy Lives lyrics

He left gravel flying, tears falling from her eyes

When he got home that evening he didn't apologize

He left a rose on the table, she let that be enough

She loved him enough to know how a cowboy loves

That's just how a cowboy loves



She tried to ride it out but she couldn't keep hanging on

Now he sees her around but she's never alone

He keeps the storm clouds hidden behind the wall of pride

Laughs out loud, spits on the ground, that's how a cowboy cries

That's just how a cowboy cries



Unwritten rules, unspoken words

Never show your hate or hang your head no matter how it hurts

Sometimes you get thrown but you get back on and ride

That's how a cowboy lives, that's how a cowboy dies



Now he makes his mistakes, they weigh on his soul

But his altar is an open sky, a church where no one goes

He knows God understands him 'cause He made him that way

Silently he makes his peace, that's how a cowboy prays

That's just how a cowboy prays



Sometimes you get thrown but you get back on and ride

That's how a cowboy lives, that's how a cowboy dies

That's how a cowboy lives
