How a Cowboy Lives Lyrics

He left gravel flying
Tears falling from her eyes
When he got home that evening
He didnt apologize
He left a rose on the table
She let that be enough
She loved him enough to know
How a cowboy loves
Its just how a cowboy loves

She tried to ride it out
But she couldnt keep hanging on
Now he sees her around
But shes never alone
He keeps the storms clouds hidden
Behind the wall of pride
Laughs out loud spits on the ground
Thats how a cowboy cries
Its just how a cowboy cries
Chorus:
Unwritten rules
Unspoken words
Never show your hand
Or hang your head
No matter how it hurts

Bridge:
Sometimes you get thrown
But you get back on and ride
Thats how a cowboy lives
Thats how a cowboy dies
Now he makes his mistakes
They weigh on his soul
His altar is an open sky
A church where noone goes
He knows God understands him
Cause he made him that way
Silently he makes his peace
Thats how a cowboy prays
Its just how a cowboy prays

Bridge:
Sometimes you get thrown
But you get back on and ride
Thats how a cowboy lives
Thats how a cowboy dies
