Ridin' off in the sunset
Blue eyes under my stetson
A little lady on the front porch
Wishin' my heart would start settling
Big iron hips with the holsters
I'd be lookin' mighty fine on a poster
Wanted by the law
But the laws don't apply to me
If I was a cowboy, I'd be wild and free
Rollin' around these towns like tumbleweeds
I'd be a legend at loving and leaving
Nipping on a whiskey
And numbing up my feelings
You thought the west was wild
But you ain't saddled up with me
If I was a cowboy, I'd be the queen
Sittin' pretty on the prairie, baby
I'm your huckleberry, let me hold ya
This six-gun sugar's got a hairpin trigger
Like I told ya
And this dove never really gets lonesome
I never begged, never borrowed
But I stole some
Wanted by the law
But the laws don't apply to me, baby
If I was a cowboy, I'd be wild and free
Rollin' around these towns like tumbleweeds
I'd be a legend at loving and leaving
Nipping on a whiskey
And numbing up my feelings
You thought the west was wild
But you ain't saddled up with me
If I was a cowboy, I'd be the queen
So mamas if your daughters grow up
To be cowboys, so what
If I was a cowboy, I'd be wild and free
Rollin' around these towns like tumbleweeds
I'd be a legend at loving and leaving
Nipping on a whiskey
And numbing up my feelings
You thought the west was wild
But you ain't saddled up with me
If I was a cowboy, I'd be the queen
I'd be the queen
