Cowboys Ain't Supposed to Cry

Oh I am just a cowboy on my way back to Houston

I used to play the rodeos

But I can't play 'em like I used toI've given it up I'm layin' it down

I've had enough of being a rodeo clown

So if I see a tear running down my face

Don't ask me why cause cowboys ain't supposed to cry

[ steel - fiddle ]

Oh I am just a drifter on my way back from Denver

I kept 'em laughin' from in my barrel

But now it seems it's too hard to handleSo I've given it up I'm layin' it down...

Cause cowboys ain't supposed to cry
