Story Behind The Song
I know some cowboys that truely live this type of life. And now they are alone.
Song Description
Cowboys have a problem showing their feelings. They would rather mend a broken heart than let their feelings show. So that's exactly what they do. They will let the cowgirl walk out before they will show their feelings or commit to a relationship.

Lyrics
Don't let the door hit you
When your walking out on me
My broken heart and tears
No you won't ever see
And if you dare to look back
A cowboy smile is all there'll be
But once you slam that door
I'm gonna fall down to my knees
Chorus:
It's the funny thing about cowboys
Some cowgirls will never know
They rather mend a broken heart
Than ever let their feelings show
I'm just a lonely cowboy
For reasons of my own
By the time I learn my lesson boy
My baby's she'll be too far gone
Well I should have brought her flowers
Should have taken her to the dance
Told her she looked pretty
Every time I had the chance
As with many an old cowboy
It's the affection that we lack
The cob webs in this empty vase
Say's she won't be coming back
Chorus
