I want to be a cowboy’s sweetheart
I want to learn to rope and ride
I want to ride all the plains and the deserts
Out west of the great divide
I want hear the coyotes howlin’
while the sun sets in the west
I want to be a cowboy’s sweetheart
the land I love the best
(yodeling)
I want to ride old paint rollin’ on the run
I wanna feel the wind in my face
A thousand miles away from home
Goin’ the cowmans’ pace
I want to pillow my head near the steerin’ heard
while the moon shines down so far I want to strum my guitar and yodel-le-hee-hee
That’s the land I love
(yodeling)
