Life ain't how you pictured it
You're face down in your bed again
Screamin' in your pillow
Life ain't what you thought it'd be
When you were wide-eyed seventeen
Learnin' how to let go
You're alright
But sometimes
Grass won't grow
and the stars won't shine
Smoke all day
but you don't get high
You can't find the words
to say goodbye
Sometimes you get up
but you can't get gone
Got a strong hand
but you can't hold on
Hey there tough guy
Even cowboys cry
Even cowboys cry
As you grow you understand
Everything's just one big scam
Screamin' in your pillow
And you're alright
But sometimes
Grass won't grow
and the stars won't shine
Smoke all day
but you don't get high
You can't find the words
to say goodbye
Sometimes you get up
but you can't get gone
Got a strong hand
but you can't hold on
Hey there tough guy
Even cowboys cry
Even cowboys cry
And you're alright
You're alright
But sometimes
But sometimes
Yeah you're alright
Yeah you're alright
But sometimes
The grass won't grow
and the stars won't shine
Smoke all day
but you don't get high
Hey there tough guy
