I wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart
I wanna learn to rope and ride
I wanna ride all 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, going at a run
I wanna feel the wind in my face
A thousand miles from the city lights
Goin' in the cowman's face

I wanna pillow my hat 'neath the sleeping herd
While the moon shines down from above
I wanna strum my guitar and yodel-le-hee
Oh, that's the life I love

I wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart
I wanna learn to rope and ride
I wanna ride all 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 yodel-le-hee
That's the life I love the best
