(Vaughn Horton)

You'll never know I cried when I found out you lied
So I'll keep riding hiding teardrops in my heart
A cowboy can't reveal a broken heart until
He's all alone in someplace long to play the part.

Though I'm pretending that I don't care
To be with you my darling is my prayer
But way down deep inside I can't give up my pride
So I'll keep riding hiding teardrops in my heart.

Now they say that the cowboy's not supposed to cry
But friends he has a heart just the same as you and I
I overheard one on the range today and I knew you rode in sorrow
For in the song he sang these are the words I heard him say.

Though I'm pretending that I don't care
To be with you my darling is my prayer
But way down deep inside I can't give up my pride
So I'll keep riding hiding teardrops in my heart...
