When I found out you lied
So I'll keep ridin'
Hidin' teardrops in my heart
A cowboy can't reveal
A broken heart until

Though I'm pretending that I don't care
To be with you my darling is my prayer
But way down deep inside
I can't give up my pride
So I'll keep ridin'
Hidin' teardrops in my heart

Now they say that the cowboy's
Not supposed to cry

Just the same as you and I

And I knew you rode 'em sorrowful
In the song he sang
These are the words I heard him say
Though I'm pretending
