[Verse 1] A black cowboy hat hangs upon the shelf He took it off the day she left She was tired of life being a cowboy's wife Said "Your boots love dust more than they love me" [Chorus] When a cowboy's heart breaks Rain starts to fall Everybody knows this rodeo's closed You can tell right away that his love is gone Gone Gone When teardrops fall from Heaven [Verse 2] When the north wind howls like an old night owl And the ground shakes You can hear his heartache Leaves blowing in the breeze There's crying in the trees Even the creek runs low and slow for him [Bridge] Barstool bible Bottle half done Staring through the smoke at what he's become He tips that hat like a prayer up above Hoping one more storm might bring back her love [instrumental] [Bridge]
