I wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart I wann learn to rope and ride I wanna ride through the plains and the desert Out west of the great divide I wanna hear the coyotes singing As the sun sets in the west I wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart That's the life I love the best. I wann ride a paint Moce it at a run I wanna feel the wind in my face A thousand miles away from all Movin' in the cowman's face I wann pillow my head Beneath the open sky As the sun sets in the west I wanna strum my guitar and 'yodel-le-hee-hee' That's the life I love the best
