Discover the story of the song > Cowboys Don’t Cry – Robert Earl Keen

The protagonist is in a rundown town in Texas where everything seems to be falling apart. The drugstore is closed, the river is dry, and the drive-in theater doesn't play movies anymore. Despite this, the protagonist keeps moving on, driving fast and going wild on the highway. The song captures the feeling of longing for a time when things were different, but also the determination to keep moving forward.
