I Want To Be A Cowboy's Sweetheart

(album: Somewhere Between - 1989)

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 deserts
Out west of that great divide
I want to hear the coyotes howling
While the sun sinks in the West
I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart
That's the life I love the best

I want to ride Old Paint going at a run
I want to feel the wind in my face
A thousand miles from all the city lights
Going a 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 yodelay-hee-hoo
Oh, that's the life that I love

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 deserts
Out west of that great divide
I want to hear the coyotes howling
While the sun sinks in the West
I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart
That's the life I love the best
