I know you're sleepy it's time to go home
Mommie is waiting for you all alone
But I'll see you next Sunday let me dry your eyes
You know cowboys and daddys don't ever cry

I liked the movie the picnic was fun
Of course I still love you you don't have to ask me son
Now let's both smile for mommie promise me you'll try
She thinks cowboys and daddys don't ever cry

I dream someday we could go away
I'd take you down to Mexico or upon the Hudson Bay
Oh but only fool knows the word of his schemes
I've never been too good at planning it seems

Someday when you're older and the cowboy is grown
You'll know how it hurts everytime I take you home
How I wait for each Sunday with tears in my eyes
That's when cowboys and daddys don't ever cry
That's when cowboys and daddys don't ever cry
Cowboys and daddys don't ever cry
