I wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart I wanna learn to rope and to 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.
(yodeling)
I wanna ride old paint Movin' at a run I wanna feel the wind in my face A thousand miles away from all Movin' at a cowhand's pace I wanna 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
