Singing Cowboys Don’t Talk

VERSE I

He was always a cowboy in my eyes

Though he spent his days in a suit and tie

At night he’d sip good whiskey with six strings in his hands

And when he sang he’d fly beyond the sky



VERSE II

His eyes would shine like a sentimental sea

As he sang a Gene Autry melody

I always knew he loved me though he never said the words

But he gave all he could offer cautiously



CHORUS

Singing cowboys don’t talk

Their souls are only found inside a song

You only see their heart when they play their guitar

I didn’t have to say a word, the music was enough

I put on his hat and began to realize
