"Cowboy's Born With A Broken Heart" by BOY HOWDY


He don't cry, when he falls down

And he's been known, to hit the ground

There ain't too much, that could tear his world apart

A cowboy's born, with a broken heart



verse 2

So if you're trying, to make him blue

You're better off, with someone new

'Cause he's been lonesome, right from the very start

A cowboy's born, with a broken heart



chorus

God gave him his common sense, he learned young to mend a fence

But he keeps all his feelings locked inside

He was taught to rope and brand, and always be an honest man

But if it ever comes down to his pride



verse 3

Just let him go, it ain't worth the fight

He may be wrong, but he's still right

'Cause he's been lonesome, right from the very start

A cowboy's born, with a broken heart



solo

God game him his common sense, he learned young to mend a fence

He keeps all his feelings locked inside

He was taught to rope and brand, and always be an honest man

But if it ever comes down to his pride



Just let him go, it ain't worth the fight

He may be wrong, but he's still right

'Cause he's been lonesome, right from the very start

A cowboy's born, with a broken heart

A cowboy's born, with a broken heart



song slowly fades out

This song is really spot on, isn't it? Very fitting for Ennis especially.

A beautiful song that reminds me of Jack asking Ennis to come away with him....

COME AWAY WITH ME...BY NORAH JONES

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song.

Come away with me on a bus
Come away with me where they cant tempt us
With their lies.

I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee high
So wont you try to come.

Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountain top
Come away with me
And I'll never stop, loving you.

And i want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To Come Away with me in the night
Come away with me.

Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection

Ooh, wow, Katie.  Never thought of how appropriate that one is before.  Very nice.  And another one I used to play for my son when he was a baby as he noodled off to sleep each night (along with Eva Cassidy's version of "Fields of Gold").
No more beans!

This is one of my favorite songs at the moment, it brings tears to my eyes and reminds me of bbm...
find it on the internet and listen to it!

A case of you - Joni Mitchell

Just before our love got lost you said
I am as constant as the northern star
And I said, constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar

On the back of a cartoon coaster
In the blue tv screen light
I drew a map of canada
Oh canada
And your face sketched on it twice

Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
You're so bitter baby and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh Id still be on my feet

Oh I am a lonely painter
I live in a box of paints
I'm frightened by the devil
And I'm drawn to those ones that aint afraid
I remember that time that you told me, you said
Love is touching souls
Surely you touched mine
Cause part of you pours out of me
In these lines from time to time

Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
You're so bitter baby and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh Id still be on my feet

I met a woman
She had a mouth like yours
She knew your devils she knew your deeds
And she said
Go with it and stay with it
Oh but be prepared to bleed
Oh you are in my blood like holy wine
You're so bitter baby and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
And I would still be on my feet
Oh Id still be on my feet

Mmmmmmm

mvansand, this is just beautiful, and very fitting.

I'll take this opportunity to say hi and welcome if I didn't before. I remember your handle from IMDb, and always enjoyed reading your posts (I have changed from milena-covic, if that rings any bell).

Mmmmmm, is right.  This *is* especially fitting, not to mention kinda universal:

"Just before our love got lost you said
I am as constant as the northern star
And I said, constantly in the darkness
Where's that at?
If you want me I'll be in the bar"

LOVE that.

And this...

"Oh I could drink a case of you
I could drink a case of you darling
And I would still be on my feet"

I wish I knew how to quit you, anyone?
No more beans!

hiya - thanks ednbarby, JCinNYC2006 and Isabelle! I have so many more, I will post them later. I always loved these threads on imdb, but they always got lost! I am a music freak and I have my own radio program on wednesday night and I always play at least one song that reminds me of bbm... ;D

Isabelle - yeah, I remember you under the milena-covic name, thanks for welcoming me! I really enjoyed reading your threads too...

The song actually does remind me of bbm in some sense, nice choice.  ;)
