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
