On that very first day, the Lord sat down and saw fit to say
"Let there be light!" so he could tell the day time from the night
And then he spoke again, felt the wind come rolling in
Smelt the rain, it soaked everything
And then the mountains rose up, across the Great Plains
And all the angels up in Heaven started singing,
"All it's missing is a pretty thing"
Let there be cowgirls for every cowboy
Make 'em strong as any man, Lordy
Something you can't tame, she's a mustang
The heartbeat of the heartland
She's got a drawl, ya'll,
Yeah, she's the salt of the earth that rocks my world
Let there be cowgirls, come on
He made me back in '68, the first time I met her I was nearly eight
And she was ten, her name was little KayLynn
She was born to a farmer who was friends with my father,
I was in love with the sharecropper's only daughter
Thought I was in, he made me think again
But when I turned 16, I thought it couldn't get worse
I saw her riding on a horse and fell in love so bad it hurt
Let there be cowgirls for every cowboy
Make 'em strong as any man, Lordy
Something you can't tame, she's a mustang
The heartbeat of the heartland
She's got a drawl, ya'll,
Yeah, she's the salt of the earth that rocks my world
Let there be cowgirls, ooooooh, come on
Ooh, let there be cowgirls
Ooh, let there be cowgirls
Let there be cowgirls for every cowboy
Make them strong as any man, Lordy
Something you can't tame, she's a mustang
The heartbeat of the heartland
She's got a drawl, ya'll,
Yeah, she's the salt of the earth that rocks my world
Son!
Let there be cowgirls, ooooooh
Let there be cowgirls, come on
