Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
So mamas if your daughters grow up
To be cowboys, so what
[Chorus]
If I was a cowboy, I'd be wild and free (Oh, I'd be free)
Rollin' around these towns like tumbleweeds (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 (You ain't saddled up with me)
If I was a cowboy, I'd be the queen, oh
I'd be the queen
