I wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart I wan' 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 wan' ride a paint
I want to move it and run I wanna feel the wind in my face A thousand miles away from all Movin' at a cowman's pace I wan' 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
