Oh I am just a cowboy on my way back to Houston
I used to play the rodeos but I can?t play ?em like I used to
I?ve given? it up, I?m layin? it down
I?ve had enough of bein? a rodeo clown
So if you see a tear runnin down my face
Don?t ask me why, cause cowboys ain?t suppose to cry

Oh I am just a drifter on my way back from Denver
I kept ?em laughin from in my barrel but now it seems too hard to handle
So I?ve given? it up, I?m layin? it down
I?ve had enough of bein? a rodeo clown
So if you see a tear runnin? down my face
Don?t ask me why, cause cowboys ain?t suppose to cry
