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 a paint Move it at a run I wanna feel the wind in my face A thousand miles away from all Movin' in the cowman's face I wann 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
