Lyrics

Whenever a cowboy's heart is broken
Whenever the world turns upside down
A beautiful sunrise across the hills when we were hand in hand
but lately it's blinding in my face
And they're only tears from the morning glare
It happens now and then whenever a cowboy's heart breaks

Whatever the time of night out westward
the wind at my back seems colder now
Once we were in love walking endlessly through open waving fields
Now it's just dirt and empty space
And they're only tears from the dusty air
It happens now and then whenever a cowboy's heart breaks

Wherever you are may you be happy
and all of your hopes and dreams come true
I want you to know that I wish you well in all the plans you've made
and along every path you take
And they're only tears from my own despair
It happens now and then whenever a cowboy's heart breaks
whenever a cowboy's heart breaks
