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 through the plains and the desert
Out west of the Great Divide
I wanna hear the coyotes singing
As the sun sets in the west
I wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart
That's the life I love the best

I wanna ride Old Paint
Moving at a run
I wanna feel the wind in my face
A thousand miles away from all
Movin' at a cowhand's pace
I want to pillow my head
Beneath the open sky
As the sun sets in the west
I wanna strum my guitar and yodel-le-hee-hee
That's the life I love the best
