What Cowboys Do

Broken bones and broken hearts, and I've，
Had my shoulder torn apart，
But it's nothin' like the pain I felt when I lost you，
Honky-tonks and children round checks，
And all those late nights I regret，
And I left you all alone, crying, wonderin' why I lay it all on the line，
I've earned scars and I've earned buckles，
Been in the chutes with blood on my knuckles，
I've driven all night long, tryin' to make a rodeo，
I'm strong as a freight train, just as steady，
Crack the gate, you know I'll be ready，
And I'm gonna hang on until the ride is through，
That's what cowboys do，
Worn out dually full of whiskey dents, and，
Memories of the time we spent，
A million miles of blacktop never led me home to you，
Eight seconds of pain and fame, and these，
Thoughts of you drive me insane，
I left you all alone, crying, wonderin' why I lay it all on the line，
I've earned scars and I've earned buckles，
Been in the chutes with blood on my knuckles，
I've driven all night long, tryin' to make a rodeo，
I'm strong as a freight train, just as steady，
Crack the gate, you know I'll be ready，
And I'm gonna hang on until the ride is through，
That's what cowboys do，
One day when the glory's gone，
And I've got no strength to carry on，
I'll realize the only thing I should have held on to is you，
I've earned scars and I've earned buckles，
Been in the chutes with blood on my knuckles，
I've driven all night long trying to make a rodeo，
I'm as strong as a freight train just as steady，
Crack the gates you know I'll be ready，
And I'm gonna hang on until the ride is through，
That's what cowboys do，
That's what cowboys do，
Broken bones and broken hearts。
