A/N: I got this idea after watching the music video Cowgirls Don't Cry by Brooks & Dunn with Reba McEntire.

Walker smiled as he walked up to the fence where Alex, and Angela where. "Come on out here Angie." He said as he held the rains that was attached to the horse.

"Ok!" Angela beamed as she carefully climbed over the fence with her mother's help of course.

Her Daddy gave her her first pony
Then told her to ride
She climbed high in that saddle
Fell I don't know how many times
He taught her a lesson that she learned
Maybe a little too well

Angela wiped off the dirt on her pink shirt and jeans, she was dittermended to learn to ride, no matter how it hurt when she fell.

Walker smiled as he watched his daughter on the horse.

Ride, baby, ride
Lessons in life are gonna show you in time
Soon enough your gonna know why
It's gonna hurt every now and then
If you fall get back on again

Cowgirls don't cry

Some years later, Angela was now grown up. She was seating on the floor of her bathroom with her back pressed against the closed door, tears glittered in her eyes as she tossed her wedding ring into the trashcan before she wrapped her warms around herself.

She grew up
She got married
It never was quite right
She wanted a house, a home and babies
He started coming home late at night
She didn't let him see it break her heart
She didn't let him see her fall apart

'Cause Cowgirls don't cry
Ride, baby, ride

Two weeks later Angela was seating at her dinning room table with divorce papers in front of her.

Lessons in life are gonna show you in time
Soon enough your gonna know why
It's gonna hurt every now and then
If you fall get back on again

That night Angela was lying in her bed as she looked up at the dark ceiling.

Two weeks later Angela picked up the phone from the counter and knew something was wrong. "Mom?" She asked. What's wrong? Are you crying?"

Phone rang early one morning
Her momma's voice, she'd been crying
Said it's your daddy, you need to come home
This is it, I think he's dying
She laid the phone down by his head
last words that he said

Cowgirl don't cry
Ride, baby, ride
Lessons in life show us all in time
Too soon God'll let you know why

The following weekend Angela returned home to the Ranch, her car pulled up and parked in the drive. She got out and ran up to the porch where her mother was saiting. The two women hugged tightly.

If you fall get right back on
Good Lord calls everybody home
Cowgirl don't cry

Angela was leaning up against the white fence as she watched the horses. "I love you so much daddy." She said in a soft and shaky voice.

A soft wind blew by pushing Angela's blonde hair out of her face and off her shoulders.
