He wasn’t built for rain
Out on the Texas plains
He couldn’t rope or ride
He never sleep outside
Although he seemed to care
He wasn’t really there
His heart was on the train
He wasn’t built for rain
And when it came to lovin’
His heart was on the fence
She gave it all for nothing
Hasn’t seen him since
She thought he was a man
But he’s just a boy it seems
Afraid to face tomorrow
He’s living in his dreams
He wasn’t built for rain
Out on the Texas plains
He couldn’t rope or ride
He never slept outside
Although he seemed to care
He wasn’t really there
His heart was on the train
He wasn’t built for rain
She thought she understood him
Like no one else could do
Now he’s gone and left her
Her happy times are through
She tried to build a shelter
To save him from the storm
Her love was like a fire
That could keep a cowboy warm
He wasn’t built for rain
Out on the Texas plains
He couldn’t rope or ride
He never slept outside
Although he seemed to care
He wasn’t really there
His heart was on the train
He wasn’t built for rain
He wasn’t built for rain
