Intro Daddy knew that he was tuff When old doc Windsor slapped his butt The night he was born He just smiled Bed sheets for a parachute He jumped off that old barn roof When old doc set his arm He said I guess I was wrong thinking I could fly He?s been busted, bruised, and broken, brushed it off and kept on going, but not tonight I know it must hurt like hell when a cowboy cries Got rolled in a holdin pen By a rank bull out in old Cheyenne They say he broke five ribs Nearly lost his left eye One night he straightened out a curve With a pick up truck outside Fort Worth When they finally cut him out Put a Marlboro in his mouth And bummed a light He?s been busted, bruised, and broken, brushed it off and kept on going, but not tonight I know it must hurt like hell when a cowboy cries And as a teardrop hit his whiskey glass He said the only true love I?ll ever have Just walked out the door She said she didn?t love me anymore. Solo Yeah, He's been busted, bruised, and broken, brushed it off and kept on going, but not tonight Not tonight It must hurt like hell It must hurt like hell When a cowboy cries Outro
