I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart by Suzy Bogguss

I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart
I want to learn to rope and ride
I want to ride o'er the plains and the deserts
Out West of the Great Divide

I want to hear the coyotes howlin'
While the sun sets in the West
I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart
The life I love the best

I want to ride old paint, goin' on the run
I want to feel the wind in my face
A thousand miles from all the city lights
Go at a cowhands pace

I want to pillow my head near the sleepin' heard
While the moon shines down from above
I wanna strum my guitar
Oh, that's the life I love

I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart
I want to learn to rope and ride
I want to ride o'er the plains and the deserts
Out West of the Great Divide

I want to hear the coyotes howlin'
While the sun sets in the west
I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart
The life I love the best
