From the cradle, we learn to be tough
In the wild West, where the wind makes the law
Hard work, rope and saddle, sweat and ground
Lone cowboys don't show weakness, no

Lone cowboys, with hearts of stone
Tough on the outside, but love sometimes gets in
In the silence of the night, emotion throbs
And the lone cowboy feels the pain and the beauty

He grew up riding bulls, facing the wind
Learned to silence pain, not to show feeling
But sometimes in a glance, in a touch of a hand
The lone cowboy feels the world turn upside down

Lone cowboys, with hearts of stone
Tough on the outside, but love sometimes gets in
In the silence of the night, emotion throbs
And the lone cowboy feels the pain and the beauty

In the rodeo of life, we dance with fear
But love is a lasso that sometimes we don't see
And the lone cowboy, with a hardened heart
Discovers that loving is like riding a wild and dear bull

Lone cowboys, with hearts of stone
Tough on the outside, but love sometimes gets in
In the silence of the night, emotion throbs
And the lone cowboy feels the pain and the beauty
