How A Cowboy Lives Lyrics - Trent Willmon

He left gravel flying, tears falling from her eyes 

When he got home that evening he didn't apologize 

He left a rose on the table, she let that be enough 

She loved him enough to know how a cowboy loves 

That's just how a cowboy loves 

She tried to ride it out but she couldn't keep hanging on 

Now he sees her around but she's never alone 

He keeps the storm clouds hidden behind the wall of pride 

Laughs out loud, spits on the ground, that's how a cowboy cries 

That's just how a cowboy cries 

Unwritten rules, unspoken words 

Never show your hate or hang your head no matter how it hurts 

Sometimes you get thrown but you get back on and ride 

That's how a cowboy lives, that's how a cowboy dies 

Now he makes his mistakes, they weigh on his soul 

But his altar is an open sky, a church where no one goes 

He knows God understands him 'cause He made him that way 

Silently he makes his peace, that's how a cowboy prays 

That's just how a cowboy prays
