My Theme Song

This song kind of explains why I handle things the way I do. Ok...so every now and then I do have a pity party, no one else show's up for those parties though, wonder why ? But I do think this song kinda tells the story about how I was raised and a few things I have gone through. You don't give up no matter how hard the ground hit's ya. You get up and keep going. You don't let failures and lifes disappointments keep you down. You get and keep going. And the thing my Daddy used to always tell me......Cowgirls Don't Cry.

Cowgirls Don't Cry

Her daddy gave her, her first pony
Then taught her to ride
She climbed high in that saddle
Fell I don't know how many times
Taught her a lesson that she learned
Maybe a little too well

Cowgirls don't cry
Ride, baby, ride
Lessons in life are going to show you in time
Soon enough your gonna know why
It's gonna hurt every now and then
If you fall get back on again
Cowgirls don't cry

She grew up
She got married
Never was quite right
She wanted a house, a home and babies
He started coming home late at night
She didn't let him see it break her heart
She didn't let him see her fall apart

'cause Cowgirls don't cry
Ride, baby, ride
Lessons in life are goinna' show you in time
Soon enough your gonna know why
It's gonna hurt every now and then
If you fall get back on again
Cowgirls don't cry

Phone rang early one morning
Her momma's voice, she'd been crying
Said it's your daddy, you need to come home
This is it, I think he's dying
She laid the phone down by his head
The last words that he said

Cowgirl don't cry
Ride, baby, ride
Lessons in life show us all in time
Too soon God lets you know why
If you fall get right back on
Good Lord calls everybody home
Cowgirl don't cry

Song By : Brooks & Dunn
Album : Cowboy Town

Finally got around to listening to this. I applaud you for your strength. Takes a tough cowgirl to be able to go through all of this and still with a smile.(Er, a laugh) It's nice to hear someone laugh so much again... of course, I AINT THAT FUNNY...
Now if I can only find my theme song... any suggestions?

Basboosa ~ yes, you ARE that funny ! LOL I will have to think a little while on a theme song for you, dear.

DG ~ I don't think those "sores" are from riding horses, Darlin ;)

vinz-q8 ~ Thank you, my friend. I visit your blog often, I just can't figure out how to "follow" it yet. I am so "internet" challenged it's not even funny.
