There's a little boy on his knees beside his bed
|
With a cowboy hat upon his bowed head
|
Tryin' to keep the tears in his eyes
|
And his heart breaks as the little cowboy cries
|
|
As the cowboy cries
|
He says God forgive me please
|
I didn't want my daddy to leave
|
And I promise to be good this time
|
But his heart breaks as the little cowboy cries
|
|
There's another heart in pain outside his door
|
His momma heard him cry as she walked the floor
|
Her love for his daddy has died
|
And her heart breaks as her little cowboy cries
|
|
As her cowboy cries
|
She says God forgive me please
|
I know I made him leave
|
But the pain will go away in time
|
But her heart breaks as her little cowboy cries
|
|
In a smoky little bar way downtown
|
His daddy is drinkin' whiskey down
|
Tryin' to kill the pain he feels inside
|
And his heart breaks as his little cowboy cries
|
|
And his cowboy cries
|
He says God forgive me please
|
I know I had to leave
|
Things haven't been good for a long, long time
|
And his heart breaks as his little cowboy cries
|
As his cowboy cries
|
As his cowboy cries
|
As his cowboy cries
|
As his cowboy cries
|
As the cowboy cries
|
As the cowboy cries
|
As the cowboy cries
|
As the cowboy cries
|
