Biography:
Willmon was raised on a ranch near Afton, Texas. By his second year in college, he dropped out to join a bluegrass band. In 1995, he moved to Nashville to start a songwriting career, and by 1998 he had a song-publishing contract with Sea Gayle Music. One of his first cuts as a songwriter was "It Doesn't Mean I Don't Love You". This song was recorded by the short-lived duo McHayes (which comprised 1990s country singer Wade Hayes and fiddler Mark McClurg), and reached #41 on the country charts in 2003.

[Verse]
Bm A/C# D F#m G
He left gravel flyin', tears fallin' from her eyes
Bm A/C# D F#m G
When he got home that evenin', he didn't a- pologize
Bm A/C# D F#m G
He left a rose on the table, she let that be e- nough
G/E A D D/C# Bm F#m G
She loved him e- nough to know how a cowboy loves
A D
It's just how a cowboy loves
Bm A/C# D F#m G
She tried to ride it out, but she couldn't keep hangin' on
Bm A/C# D F#m G
Now he sees her around, but she's ne- ver alone
Bm A/C# D F#m G
He keeps the storms clouds hidden behind the wall of pride
A D D/C# Bm F#m G
Laughs out loud, spits on the ground, that's how a cowboy cries
A D
It's just how a cowboy cries
[Chorus]
Bm F#m
Unwritten rules, unspoken words
G F#m Em A
Never show your hand or hang your head, no matter how it hurts
Bm F#m
Sometimes you get thrown, but you get back on and ride
G A D A Bm F#m G
That's how a cowboy lives, that's how a cowboy dies
Bm A/C# D F#m G
Now he makes his mistakes, they weigh on his soul
Bm A/C# D F#m G
His altar is an open sky, a church where no one goes
Bm A/C# D F#m G
He knows God understands him, 'cause he made him that way
A D D/C# Bm F#m G
Silent- ly he makes his peace, that's how a cowboy prays
A Bm
It's just how a cowboy prays
