John Michael Montgomery - Little Cowboy's Cry lyrics

(Monte Thomas)

There's a little boy on his knees beside his bed

With a cowboy hat upon his bowed head

Tryin' to keep the tears in his eyes

And his heart breaks as the little cowboy cries

As the cowboy cries

He says God forgive me please

I didn't want my daddy to leave

And I promise to be good this time

But his heart breaks as the little cowboy cries

There's another heart in pain outside his door

His momma heard him cry as she walked the floor

Her love for his daddy has died

And her heart breaks as her little cowboy cries

As her cowboy cries

She says God forgive me please

I know I made him leave

But the pain will go away in time

But her heart breaks as her little cowboy cries

In a smoky little bar way downtown

His daddy is drinkin' whiskey down

Tryin' to kill the pain he feels inside

And his heart breaks as his little cowboy cries

And his cowboy cries

He says God forgive me please

I know I had to leave

Things haven't been good for a long, long time

And his heart breaks as his little cowboy cries

As his cowboy cries

As his cowboy cries

As his cowboy cries

As his cowboy cries

As the cowboy cries

As the cowboy cries

As the cowboy cries

As the cowboy cries
