"I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart"
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
[Yodeling]
I want to ride old paints going on the run
I want to feel the wind in my face
A thousand miles from all the city’s 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, o-da-le-hee-hee
Oh, 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
[Yodeling]
