A Cowboy's Toughest Ride

(album: Hypnotize The Moon - 1995)

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
And sometimes he falls way too far
And you can bet that when he hits the ground
And 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
'Cause everything I learned, I learned from you
I have rode some broncs from hell
And it hurt me every time I fell
But not half as much as the pain of losing you

When this cowboy falls, he falls hard
And 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
You were there, so cowboy's toughest ride
