Cowboys Cry Too (with Noah Kahan) (Explicit)

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
'Cause growing up he had to go
Where the wind blew
He hides his heart and hurt 'cause 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
Cowboys cry too
They may not let 'em fall down in their hometown
Thinking they still got **** 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
I grew up wishing
I could close off the way my dad did
'Cause that man never felt a damn thing
He didn't wanna feel
But I've burned too many miles trying to 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 running
But I hope not
'Cause cowboys cry too
They may not let 'em fall down in their hometown
Thinking they still got **** 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
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
Cowboys cry too
They may not let 'em fall down in their hometown
Thinking they still got **** 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
