i want to be a cowboy's sweetheart

i wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart

i wanna learn to rope and ride

i wanna ride o'er the plains and the desert

out west of the great divide

i wanna hear the coyotes howling

as the sun sinks in the west

i wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart

that's the life i love the best

i wanna ride old paint goin' at a run

i wanna feel the wind in my face

a thousand miles from the city lights

goin' a cowhand's pace

i wanna pillow my head near the sleeping herd

while the moon shines down from above

i wanna strum my guitar and yodelay-hee-hee-hoo

that's the life that i love

i wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart

i wanna learn to rope and ride

i wanna ride o'er the plains and the desert

out west of the great divide

i wanna hear the coyotes howling

as the sun sinks in the west

i wanna be a cowboy's yodelay-hoo-hee

that's the life i love the best
