Cowgirls Don't Cry

You were a tall drink of water

And I wanted a sip

I guess out in the desert

They make them like this

But when you took off that Stetson hat

And I saw the lying, cheating truth

Looked in the mirror

Told myself the only thing I knew

Cowgirls don't cry

They don't ask him why

Get back in the saddle and wish him goodbye

Hold onto their pride

Just cut the ties

Dust off their boots, they just buck up and ride

I'm down in El Paso, my heart's in a lasso

And there's tears in my broken blue eyes

Guess I'm not a cowgirl

'Cause cowgirls don't cry

If you're gonna tame wild horses

You're gonna get hurt

The way that you cut me up

Was sharp as your spurs

Dug into my feelings

Like heels in the dirt

Your kiss like a snakebite

And that venom still burns

But Cowgirls don't cry

They don't ask him why

Get back in the saddle and wish him goodbye

Hold onto their pride

Just cut the ties

Dust off their boots, they just buck up and ride

I'm down in El Paso, my heart's in a lasso

And there's tears in my broken blue eyes

Guess I'm not a cowgirl

'Cause cowgirls don't cry

Ooo-ooo-ooo

Cowgirls don't cry

They don't ask him why

Get back in the saddle and wish him goodbye

Hold onto their pride

Just cut the ties

Dust off their boots, they just buck up and ride

I'm down in El Paso, my heart's in a lasso

And there's tears in my broken blue eyes

Guess I'm not a cowgirl

'Cause cowgirls don't cry
