I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart

[Verse]

I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart

I want to learn to rope and ride

I want to ride over the plains and deserts

Out west of the Great Divide

I want to hear the coyotes howling

While 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, going on a run

I want to feel the wind in my face

A thousand miles from all the city lights

Go at a cowhand's pace

I want to pillow my head near the sleeping herd

While the moon shines down from above

I want to strum my guitar, yodel-lay-ee-oo

That's the life I love

I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart

I want to learn to rope and ride

I want to ride over the plains and deserts

Out west of the Great Divide

I want to hear the coyotes howling

While the sun sets in the west

I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart

The life I love the best
