Cowboy Cry
Lyrics:
[English]
Complicated, like a book
Coffee stained and missing pages
Drive you wild for a while
And then she'll break you
Ain't afraid to shoot you straight without a chaser
But they all chase her
Hit you in the night like a long black train
Little bit of sin and a little bit of sane
Make you wanna fall to your knees and pray
Boy, you better pray
'Cause she's hot like the summer and she's sweet like the rain
Yeah, she's smooth like a whiskey and she burns like propane
Well, she's wild like her mama, so it ain't no surprise
That she can make a cowboy, she can make a cowboy cry
Desperado
She's a classic '97 Silverado
Just an angel drinking bourbon out the bottle
Make you hurt, make you curse like no tomorrow
Like no tomorrow
Hit you in the night like a long black train
Little bit of sin and a little bit of sane
Make you wanna fall to your knees and pray
Boy, you better pray
'Cause she's hot like the summer and she's sweet like the rain
Yeah, she's smooth like a whiskey and she burns like propane
Well, she's wild like her mama, so it ain't no surprise
That she can make a cowboy, she can make a cowboy
Ride through the desert on a horse with no name
Yeah, she'll take you to heaven, stop by hell on the way
She's been through it all, but you won't see a tear leave her eye
'Cause she can make a cowboy, she can make a cowboy
Cry, cowboy, cry
Cry, cowboy
Cry, cowboy, cry
Cry, cowboy
Cry, cowboy, cry
Cry, cowboy
Cry, cowboy, cry
Well, she's hot like the summer and she's sweet like the rain
Smooth like a whiskey and she burns like propane
She's wild like her mama, so it ain't no surprise
That she can make a cowboy, she can make a cowboy
Ride through the desert on a horse with no name
Yeah, she'll take you to heaven, stop by hell on the way
She's been through it all, but you won't see a tear leave her eye
'Cause she can make a cowboy, she can make a cowboy
Cry, cowboy, cry
Cry, cowboy
Cry, cowboy, cry
Cry, cowboy, cry
Cry, cowboy
Cry, cowboy
She could make a cowboy cry
...
