His dad always told him
“son, cowboys don’t cry”.
So when she packed her clothes
He fought back the tears in his eyes.
...
There's a hundred years of history
And even more before that
All the memories gathered in his thinkin'
Beneath that ol’ cowboy hat.
...
It was my first real rodeo
At a little county fair.
I heard carney’s barkin'
And kids screamin'
