[Verse 1 ]
Intro (G G see see G G see see G G see see G G see C) 
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 
Verse 2 
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 
[Chorus] 
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 
[Verse 3] 
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 
[Solo ]
God game him his common sense, he learned young to mend a fence 
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 
A cowboy's born, with a broken heart 
Song slowly fades out
