I wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart I wanna 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 wanna ride Old Paint Moving at a run I wanna feel the wind in my face A thousand miles away from all Movin' at a cowhand's pace I want to 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 YEE-HAW!!!
