A Cowboy Hides His Pain (written by Mike Bryant) (key of D) They opened up that shoot And that ole' cowboy Has the worst ride of his life As he's tossed around on that old bull He hits the ground and breaks something inside But he just picks himself up off the ground The people cheer and call his name He smiles and waves his hat Cause this old cowboy's Really good at hiding pain While a cowboy earns his living on the road His wife's home burning the fires Hoping that he'll come home soon She prays that this time love makes him retire But restlessness deep in his soul Is something that a woman's love can't tame She cries as he heads down the road But that old cowboys Good at hiding all his pain (Chorus) How long can their love survive When he's not there to rekindle her flame It's coming down when he must choose Her love over that rodeo fame But once again he's left her And she swears, this time will be the last She throws her suitcase in the car With tear filled eyes she never glances back He tries calling her again When no one answers He just bows his head in shame He'll pick up his hat and carry on alone The cowboy's good at hiding pain (Musical Break) He'll pick up his hat and carry on alone The cowboy's good at hiding pain
