I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart
I want to learn to rope and ride
I want to ride o'er the plains and the deserts
Out west of the great divide
I want to hear the coyotes howling
As the sun sets in the West
I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart
The life I love the best
I want to ride old paint movin at a run
I want to feel the wind in my face
A thousand miles away from home
Movin at a cowhand's pace
I want to pillow my head beneath the open sky
As the sun sets in the west
I want to strum my guitar and a-yodel a dee hee
That's the life I love the best
I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart
I want to learn to rope and ride
I want to ride o'er the plains and the deserts
Out west of the great divide
I want to hear the coyotes howling
As the sun sets in the West
I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart
The life I love the best
I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart
The life I love the best
