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 your 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 going to show you in time  Soon enough your 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 you daddy, you need to come home  This it 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    these lyrics are submitted by Lauren
