Wife Behind The Cowboy Lyrics - Chris Ledoux

There's lots of pretty cowgirls but this you may not know 

There's a very special kind at every rodeo 

Her husband is a cowboy she's his greatest fan 

She's the wife behind the cowboy and the cowboys a lucky man 

She's hauled water from the crick and got dust all over her clothes 

She's been so hot she's thought she'd die and so cold she nearly froze 

She's cooked over an open fire slept under the stars above 

And you know she'd do it all again just to be with the man she loves 

She rides the circuit with her man they go from town to town 

She builds up his confidence when the horses buck him down 

And she's driven weary miles across an endless land 

She's the wife behind the cowboy and the cowboys a lucky man 

When he climbs down in the chute and about to start his ride 

She cheers more than anyone with a special kind of pride 

And when she hears that whistle blow and she sees her cowboy smile 

She's glad because he's happy and that makes it all worthwhile
