Oh I'm 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 laying it down I’ve had enough of being a rodeo clown So if you see a tear running down my face Don’t ask me why cause cowboys ain’t suppose to cry Oh I'm just a drifter on my way back from Denver I kept ’em laughing from in my barrel But now it seems too hard to handle So I’ve given it up I’m laying it down I’ve had enough of being a rodeo clown So if you see a tear running down my face Don’t ask me why cause cowboys ain’t suppose to cry Cause cowboys ain’t suppose to cry
