Her daddy gave her, her first pony Then taught her to ride She climbed high in that saddle Fell I don't know how many times He taught her a lesson that she learned Maybe a little too well Cowgirls don't cry, ride, baby, ride Lessons in life are gonna show you in time Soon enough you gonna know why It's gonna hurt every now and then If you fall get back on again Cowgirls don't cry She grew up, she got married But never was quite right She wanted a house, a home and babies He started comin' home late at night She didn't let him see it break her heart She didn't let him see her fall apart 'Cause cowgirls don't cry, ride, baby, ride Lessons of life are gonna show you in time Soon enough you gonna know why It's gonna hurt every now and then If you fall get back on again Cowgirls don't cry Phone rang early one mornin' Her momma's voice, she'd been cryin' Said it's your daddy, you need to come home This is it, I think he's dyin' She laid the phone down by his head Last words that he said Cowgirls don't cry, ride, baby, ride Lessons of life show us all in time Too soon God will let you know why If you fall get right back on The good Lord calls everybody home Cowgirl don't cry.
