I Want To Be A Cowboy's Sweetheart Lyrics - Detour - Cyndi Lauper

I wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart 

I wanna learn to rope and ride 

I wanna ride all 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, going at a run 

I wanna feel the wind in my face 

A thousand miles from the city lights 

Goin' in the cowman's face 

I wanna pillow my hat 'neath the sleeping herd 

While the moon shines down from above 

I wanna strum my guitar and yodel-le-hee 

Oh, that's the life I love 

I wanna be a cowboy's sweetheart 

I wanna learn to rope and ride 

I wanna ride all 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 yodel-le-hee 

That's the life I love the best
