He don't cry, when he falls down
And he's been known, to hit the ground
There ain't too much, that could tear his world apart
A cowboy's born, with a broken heart

So if you're trying, to make him blue
You're better off, with someone new
'Cause he's been lonesome, right from the very start
A cowboy's born, with a broken heart

chorus
God gave him his common sense, he learned young to mend a fence
But he keeps all his feelings locked inside
He was taught to rope and brand, and always be an honest man
But if it ever comes down to his pride

Just let him go, it ain't worth the fight
He may be wrong, but he's still right
'Cause he's been lonesome, right from the very start
A cowboy's born, with a broken heart

solo
God game him his common sense, he learned young to mend a fence
He keeps all his feelings locked inside
He was taught to rope and brand, and always be an honest man
But if it ever comes down to his pride

Just let him go, it ain't worth the fight
He may be wrong, but he's still right
'Cause he's been lonesome, right from the very start
A cowboy's born, with a broken heart
A cowboy's born, with a broken heart
