See that cowboy at the bar
The one at the end with all the scars
He got stomped by the meanest bronc in Santa Fe
But if he looks a little down and out
It ain´t that bronc he´s thinking about
It´s that girl that broke his heart along the way

When a cowboy falls he falls hard
Sometimes he falls way too far
But you can bet that when he hits the ground
He´ll get back up and play the part
Even with a broken heart
He´ll hold the reins and hide the pain inside
Love´s always a cowboy´s toughest ride

Girl, just listen to me now
I should know what I´m talking about
Everything I learned I learned from you
I have rode broncs from hell
And it hurt me every time I fell
But not half as much pain as you put me through

When a cowboy falls he falls hard
Sometimes he falls way too far
But you can bet that when he hits the ground
He´ll get back up and play the part
Even with a broken heart
He´ll hold the reins and hide the pain inside
Love´s always a cowboy´s toughest ride
