"Why Can't Cowboys Cry?"

[Chorus:]
Why can't cowboys cry?
Ain't felt this down in a long time
I just seen the girl I love on the other side
Said she'd be with me 'til the end, I should've known she lied
So why can't cowboys cry?
Ain't felt this down in a long time
I just seen the girl I love on the other side
Said she'd be with me 'til the end, I should've known she lied

Ayy, I was tryna double up and you were double-crossin' me
If I cross you off the list, then there's no runnin' back to me
You can take back all your love, baby, the bag is what I need
I was out there in the heat to provide for you and me
Went and drove me to the brink, left me floatin' in the deep
You ain't even try to help me, girl, you was hopin' I would sink
On my own, it's only me, in the desert, I can't sleep
And I gotta keep a gun because this life ain't for the weak

Girl, I thought you was the one, D4L, you switched up
M.O.B., if it ain't 'bout cheese, it's a dub
Only mama gettin' hugs, opps still gettin' slugs
And I feel like Chris Young rockin' Wrangler in the club
And I admit you caught me lackin', should've known from the jump
That you would play me on some dumb shit, you done fucked around and won
Girl, we hit that lick together, was supposed to split it up
How the hell could you finesse me when it was all said and done?
Should've never let you hold the cash, you stole it and ran
Hit me with a sleight of hand, that was all I had
Had me out here down and bad, I was on my last
Now I'm tryna get it back 'cause I ain't goin' sad

[Chorus:]
Why can't cowboys cry?
I ain't felt this down in a long time
I just seen the girl I love on the other side
Said she'd be with me 'til the end, I should've known she lied
And why can't cowboys cry?
Ain't felt this down in a long time
I just seen the girl I love on the other side
Said she'd be with me 'til the end, I should've known she lied
