Life ain't how you pictured it

You're face down in your bed again

Screaming in your pillow.

Life ain't what you thought it'd be

When you were wide-eyed, seventeen

Learning how to let go.

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.

As you grow, you understand

Everything's just one big scam

Screaming 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, but sometimes

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.
