Cowgirls Don’t Cry Lyrics

Brooks and Dunn

Fans nationwide are singing the lyrics to the Brooks & Dunn and Reba McEntire collaboration on “Cowgirls Don’t Cry”.


Cowgirls Don’t Cry Lyrics:
Her daddy gave her, her first pony
Then taught her to ride
She climbed high in that saddle
Fell I don't know how many times
Taught her a lesson that she learned
Maybe a little too well

Cowgirls don't cry
Ride, baby, ride
lessons in life are going to show you in time
soon enough you’re gonna know why
it's gonna hurt every now and then
if you fall get back on again
Cowgirls don't cry

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

'Cause cowgirls don't cry
Ride, baby, ride
lessons in life are gonna show you in time
soon enough you’re gonna know why
it's gonna hurt every now and then
if you fall get back on again
Cowgirls don't cry

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 lets you know why
If you fall get right back on
Good Lord calls everybody home
Cowgirl don't cry

Cowgirls Don’t Cry: Reba McEntire
Putting together the biggest duo in Country-music history in Brooks & Dunn and one of the genre’s leading women seemed like a no brainer, but it would take the right song to get the powerhouses into the studio. That song would be “Cowgirls Don’t Cry”, co-written by Ronnie Dunn, the powerful and poignant lyrics would appeal to fans with Reba McEntire and Brooks & Dunn tickets alike. “Cowgirls Don’t Cry” eventually reached the Top 10 of the charts.

Cowgirls Don’t Cry: Content
The lyrics of “Cowgirls Don’t Cry” tell the story of a woman as she grows from little girl to woman, living by the lessons her father taught her. The woman in the ballad goes through several changes but always keeps her tears at bay. At the end of the song, as the father is dying, he reminds his daughter that “Cowgirls Don’t Cry”. Though “Cowgirls Don’t Cry” appealed to a lot of fans with Brooks and Dunn tickets, the lyrics spoke to many women and brought in new fans to both the duo and Reba McEntire.
