There's a little boy on his knees beside his bed
With a cowboy hat upon his bowed head
Trying to keep the tears in his eyes
And his heart breaks as the little cowboy cries
As the cowboy cries
And he says, God forgive me please
I didn't want my daddy to leave
And I promised to be good this time
But his heart breaks as the little cowboy cries
There's another heart in pain outside his door
His mama heard him cry as she walked the floor
Her love for his daddy has died
And her heart breaks as her little cowboy
cries As her cowboy cries
And she says, God
forgive me please I know I made him leave
The pain will go away in
time
But her heart breaks as her little cowboy cries
In
a smoky little bar way downtown His daddy
drinking whiskey down
Trying to kill the pain he feels inside But
his heart breaks as his little cowboy cries
As his cowboy cries And he says, God
forgive me please
I know I had to leave
Things haven't been good for a long, long time
And his heart breaks as his little cowboy cries
As his cowboy cries As his cowboy cries
As his cowboy cries As his cowboy cries
As the cowboy cries As the cowboy cries
That's the cowboy cry.
That's the cowboy cry.
