How A Cowboy Lives

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

Its 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 storms clouds hidden

Behind the wall of pride

Laughs out loud spits on the ground

That's how a cowboy cries

Its just how a cowboy cries

Unwritten rules

Unspoken words

Never show your hand

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

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

Its just how a cowboy prays
