Cowboy Sweetheart

I want to be a cowboy sweetheart

I want to see him tip his hat

To smile and say “Howdy Mam”

Just because I like that.

I want to drink coffee from an old tin cup

And eat some bacon and some beans

I want to sit around the fire

And hear the coyote as he sings.

I want to ride in his saddle

Out in the open air

Running against the wind

Without any kind of care.

I want to feel the tickle of his mustache

I want to be the twinkle in his eye

I want to hear him chuckle

So hard it makes him cry.

I want to hold his strong rough hands

And experience his soft heart

I will snuggle in beside him

Because I like that part.

I want to hear stories of his horse

About his life down on the ranch

What he did as a buckaroo

Because I want the chance

To throw my arms around him

And hold as tight as I can

Maybe steal a kiss or two

From this very handsome man.

Now I know what you’re thinkin

This girl she wants too much

It seems she’s way too selfish

But there’s really no such

Thing as bein too greedy

When it comes to huggin and a kissin

Cuz pard if you aint done that

Then you’ve really been a missin

But don’t be gettin me wrong

I’m not so full of greed

No, it’s not all about

What I want or need

For when it comes right down to it

I guess you ought to see

That what I’m really hopin for

Is this cowboy…to want me.
