"When A Cowboy's Heart Breaks" lyrics

When a Cowboys heart breaks
He'll keep himself as closed in
As his horses
When a Cowboys heart breaks
He'll try to drink his thoughts away
To cope with the pain
He'll break down your defenses
He'll put up all his fences
And he'll build up barbed wire
High around his heart

But I, I can see it in his eyes
I can read between the lines
Across his face
He'll try and prove
That he's a tough guy
And he'll lose
What he loves
Trying to show off
Some false strength
Yeah, it's complicated
When a Cowboys heart breaks

When a Cowboys heart breaks
He'll spit out words that are sharper than
His old boot spurs
Oh, when a Cowboys heart breaks
He's gonna try to shake it off
With Heather down the block
He'll put down my defenses
He broke down all my fences
Long enough to brand his name
Right on my heart

But I, I can see it in his eyes
I can read between the lines
Across his face
He'll try and prove
That he's a tough guy
And he'll lose
What he loves
Trying to show off
Some false strength
Yeah, it's complicated when a Cowboys heart breaks

He broke down all my fences
The only thing that's left is
The ashes from the fire that he sparked

But I can see it in his eyes
Can read between the lines
Across his face
Yeah, He'll try and prove
That he's a tough guy
And he'll lose
What he loves
Trying to show off
Some false strength
Yeah, it's complicated when a Cowboys heart breaks
Oh, when a Cowboys heart breaks
