Cowboys Ain't Supposed To Cry

(Arthur Leo Owens)



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 to

I'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.

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 handle

So I'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.



'Cause cowboys ain't supposed to cry...
