Some songs just get under your skin, not because they’re flashy or loud, but because they tell a story that feels honest—like an old friend leaning against the bar, pouring their soul out over a slow country melody. Even Cowboys Get The Blues is one of those songs. It speaks to the tough, silent types—the cowboys, the wanderers, the ones who seem like they have it all together—until life reminds them that nobody’s immune to heartache.
There’s something about the imagery in this song that makes it so powerful. You can almost picture a lonesome cowboy staring out at the horizon, lost in thought, knowing that no matter how far he rides, he can’t outrun the weight in his chest. It’s a song that strips away the bravado and reveals the truth: even the strongest among us get broken sometimes.
With its easy, melancholic melody and lyrics that cut straight to the heart, Even Cowboys Get The Blues captures that feeling of quiet sadness, the kind that doesn’t always come with tears but sits heavy on the soul. Whether you’re a cowboy at heart or just someone who’s felt the sting of love lost, this song reminds you that it’s okay to feel. It’s a ballad for anyone who’s ever tried to be tough but found themselves hurting anyway.
Because at the end of the day, no matter how strong you are, how far you ride, or how high you hold your head—even cowboys get the blues

Lyrics
She’s a rounder I can tell you that
She can sing ’em all night, too
She’ll raise hell about the sleep she lost
But even cowgirls get the blues
Especially cowgirls, they’re the gypsy kind
And need their laid on ’em loose
She’s lived to see the world turned upside down
Hitchin’ rides out of the blues
But even cowgirls get the blues sometimes
Bound to don’t know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin’ like she’s too far gone
The only way she’s ever been
Lonely nights are out there on the road
Motel ceiling stare you down
There must be safer ways to pay your dues
But even cowgirls get the blues
Even cowgirls get the blues sometime
Bound to don’t know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin’ like the restless wind
The only way she’s ever been
Even cowgirls get the blues sometime
Bound to don’t know what to do sometimes
Get this feelin’ like the restless wind
The only way she’s ever been
