You'll never know i cried
when i found out you lied
so i''ll keep ridin'
hidin' teardrops in my heart
a cowboy can't reveal
a broken heart until
he's all alone in someplace
long to play the part
though i'm pretending that i don't care
to be with you my darling is my prayer
but way down deep inside
i can't give up my pride
so i''ll keep ridin'
hidin' teardrops in my heart
Now they say that the cowboy's
not supposed to cry
but, friends, he has a heart
just the same as you and i
i overheard one on the range today
and i knew you rode 'em sorrowful
in the song he sang
these are the words i heard him say
though i'm pretending...
