Cowboys Cry Too Lyrics

[Intro: Kelsea Ballerini]
Mmm

[Verse 1: Kelsea Ballerini]
He's as tough as the tattoos up his right arm
And I've talked him down from getting in a fight or two
He stands his ground, he's as stubborn as the weeds in the backyard
'Cuz growing up he had to go where the wind blew
He hides his heart and hurt, guess he kinda had to
In a world that says, "Saddle up and be a man"
When the sun goes down and his hazel eyes go blue
That's when I understand

[Chorus: Kelsea Ballerini]
Cowboys cry too
They may not let 'em fall down in their hometown
Thinking they still got ѕh¡t to prove
That well runs deep
But when he's showing his skin
Letting mе in, that's when he's toughest to mе
I never knew cowboys cry too

[Verse 2: Noah Kahan & Kelsea Ballerini]
I grew up wishing I could close off the way my dad did
'Cuz that man never felt a dαmn thing he didn't wanna feel
But I've burned too many miles tryna ride out all the sadness
But you can't outdrive pain, someday it's gonna take the wheel
Can't be alone, but don't wanna get close to anybody
Don't wanna bare teeth, but don't wanna look weak, it's a tough spot
But I'm afraid you'll walk away when the tears start runnin'
But I hope not

[Chorus: Kelsea Ballerini & Noah Kahan]
'Cuz cowboys cry too
They may not let 'em fall down in their hometown
Thinking they still got ѕh¡t to prove
That well runs deep
But when he's showing his skin, letting me in
That's when he's toughest to me
I never knew cowboys cry too

[Bridge: Kelsea Ballerini & Noah Kahan]
Blame it on their fathers
The ones that said they'd stay
Or blame it on the songs that tell you they all ride away
But mine ain't that way
I ain't that way

[Chorus: Kelsea Ballerini & Noah Kahan]
Cowboys cry too
They may not let 'em fall down in their hometown
Thinking they still got ѕh¡t to prove
That well runs deep (Deep)
But when he's showing his skin, letting me in
That's when he's toughest to me
I never knew cowboys cry too
Mmm

Lyric Snapshot

The lyrics delve into the idea that even the toughest men, symbolized by cowboys, have deep feelings and vulnerabilities. These men may hide their emotions due to societal expectations and upbringing, but underneath, they carry pain and sadness that they rarely express. The song portrays a relationship where the narrator understands and accepts these hidden emotions, recognizing that allowing oneself to be vulnerable is, in fact, a sign of true strength. This song is a powerful commentary on masculinity and the struggle many men face in balancing societal expectations with their emotional needs.
