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 desert,
Out west of the Great Divide.
I want to hear the coyotes howlin,
While the sun sets deep in the west.
I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart,
That's the life I love the best.
 
I wanna ride old Paint, goin' at a run,
I wanna feel the wind in my face.
A thousand miles from the city lights,
Goin' a cowboy's pace.
I wanna pillow my head near the sleepin' herd,
While the moon shines down from above.
I wanna strum my guitar and yo-del-ay-hee-hee,
'Cause that's the life I love.
