i want to be a cowboy's sweetheart

Cyndi Lauper

I wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart
I wanna learn to rope and ride
I wanna ride o'er the plains and the desert
Out west of the Great Divide

I wanna hear the coyotes howling
As the sun sinks in the West
I wanna 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 cowhand's pace

I wanna pillow my head near the sleeping herd
While the moon shines down from above
I wanna strum my guitar and yodelay-hee-hee-hoo
That's the life that I love

I wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart
I wanna learn to rope and ride
I wanna ride o'er the plains and the desert
Out west of the Great Divide

I wanna hear the coyotes howling
As the sun sinks in the West
I wanna be a cowboy's yodelay-hoo-hee
That's the life I love the best
