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

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

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
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, yeah

God gave him his common sense
He learned young to mend a fence
A cowboy's born with a broken heart
He was taught to rope and brand
And always be an honest man

God gave him his common sense
He learned young to mend a fence
He was taught to rope and brand
And always be an honest man
