Repeat Intro

She grew up
She got married
Never was quite right
She wanted a house, a home and babies
He started coming home late at night
She didn't let him see it break her heart
She didn't let him see her fall apart

Repeat Chorus

Fiddle Solo

Phone rang early one morning
Her momma's voice, she'd been crying
Said it's your daddy, you need to come home
This is it, I think he's dying
She laid the phone down by his head
The last words that he said

 Cowgirl don't cry
 Ride, baby, ride
 Lessons in life show us all in time
 Too soon God'll let ya know why
 If you fall get right back on
 Good Lord calls everybody home
 Cowgirl don't cry

Repeat Intro and Fade Out
