I Want To Be A Cowboy's Sweetheart

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 sets in the West

I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart

That's the life that I love best

I want to ride Old Paint, goin' at a run

I wanna feel the wind in my face

A thousand miles from all the city lights

Goin' 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-eee-hee

Oh, that's the life that I love
