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 the great divide

I want hear the coyotes howlin

While the sun sinks in the west

I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart

That's the life that i love best



(yodeling)



I want to ride old paint going at a run

I want to feel the wind in my face

A thousand miles from these city lights

Goin at a cowhand's pace

I want to cradle my head near the sleeping herd

While the moon shines down from above

I want to strum my guitar and yodel-a-e-hoo

Oh that's the life that i love

That's the life that i love best
