I Want To Be A Cowboy's Sweetheart Lyrics - Little Cowpoke - Nickel Creek

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 deserts 

Out west of that great divide 

I want to hear the coyotes howlin' 

While the sun sinks in the West 

I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart 

That's the life I love the best 

(Yodeling) 

I want to ride Old Paint goin' at a run 

I want to feel the wind in my face 

A thousand miles from all the city lights 

Goin' a cowhand's pace 

I want to pillow my head near the sleeping herd 

While the moon shines down from above 

I want to strum my guitar and yodelay-hee-hoo 

Oh that's the life that I love 

(Yodeling) 

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 deserts 

Out west of that great divide 

I want to hear the coyotes howlin' 

While the sun sinks in the West 

I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart 

That's the life I love the best 

(Yodeling)
