| 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 |
