I Wanna Be A Cowboy’s Sweetheart

[Verse 1]
I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart
I want to learn to rope and to ride
I want to ride o'er the plains and the desert
Out west of the Great Divide
I want to hear the coyotes howlin'
While the sun sinks in the West
I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart
The life that I love best

[Verse 2]
I want to ride Old Paint, goin' at a run
I wanna feel the wind in my face
A thousand miles from all these city lights
Goin' 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 and "odo-lay-ee-dee"
Oh, that's the life that I love

[Verse 3]
Now I have found my cowboy sweetheart
And he taught me to rope and to ride
And we've settled down in a California town
Out west of the great divide
Our two little cowgirls have two kids of their own
That makes me a yodelin' grandma
I'm still ridin' side-by-side with my cowboy sweetheart
He's a rootin'-tootin' cowboy grandpa
