I Want To Be A Cowboy's Sweetheart

I Want To Be A Cowboy's Sweetheart - Suzy Bogguss

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 howlin'

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 goin' at a run

I want to feel the wind in my face

A thousand miles from all the city lights

Goin' 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 howlin'

While the sun sinks in the West

I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart

That's the life I love the best
