Cowgirls Don't Cry
Ride Through Life's Lessons: Cowgirls Don't Cry by Countdown Nashville
Lyrics
Her daddy gave her, her first pony
Her father gave her a pony as her first gift.
Then taught her to ride
He taught her how to ride the pony.
She climbed high in that saddle
She became skilled and confident in riding.
Fell I don't know how many times
She fell off the saddle numerous times.
He taught her a lesson that she learned
Her father imparted a valuable lesson.
Maybe a little too well
She learned the lesson extremely well.
Cowgirls don't cry, ride, baby, ride
Encouragement to persist despite difficulties.
Lessons in life are gonna show you in time
Life experiences will teach important lessons.
Soon enough you gonna know why
Eventually, one understands the reasons behind experiences.
It's gonna hurt every now and then
Pain is inevitable at times.
If you fall get back on again
Encouragement to persevere after failure.
Cowgirls don't cry
A reinforcement of not showing vulnerability.
She grew up, she got married
Her journey through adulthood and marriage.
But never was quite right
She felt incomplete or unsatisfied.
She wanted a house, a home and babies
Desires for a settled life with family.
He started comin' home late at night
Her partner's behavior changed negatively.
She didn't let him see it break her heart
She concealed her heartbreak.
She didn't let him see her fall apart
She hid her emotional distress.
'Cause cowgirls don't cry, ride, baby, ride
Reiteration of the mantra to endure without tears.
Lessons of life are gonna show you in time
Life's experiences teach invaluable lessons.
Soon enough you gonna know why
Understanding the reasons behind trials eventually.
It's gonna hurt every now and then
Occasional pain is part of life.
If you fall get back on again
Persisting despite failures or hardships.
Cowgirls don't cry
Reiteration of not showing vulnerability.
Phone rang early one mornin'
Received distressing news via a morning call.
Her momma's voice, she'd been cryin'
Her mother was in tears during the call.
Said it's your daddy, you need to come home
Urgent call to return home as her father's health worsened.
This is it, I think he's dyin'
Implication of her father's imminent passing.
She laid the phone down by his head
Placing the phone by her father's bedside.
Last words that he said
Last words spoken by her father.
Cowgirls don't cry, ride, baby, ride
Encouragement to persist despite loss.
Lessons of life show us all in time
Life teaches everyone invaluable lessons over time.
Too soon God will let you know why
Life's mysteries are revealed eventually.
If you fall get right back on
Encouragement to persevere after setbacks.
The good Lord calls everybody home
A nod to the universal end of life.
Cowgirls don't cry
Reiteration of enduring without tears.
