Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She's a rounder, I can tell you that
She can sing 'em all night too
She'll raise hell about the sleep she lost
But even cowgirls get the blues
[Verse 2]
Especially cowgirls, they're the gypsy kind
And need their reigns made on the loose
She lived to see the world turned upside down
Hitchin' rides out of the blues
[Verse 3]
But even cowgirls get the blues sometimes
Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
Get this feeling like she's too far gone
The only way she's ever been
[Verse 4]
Lonely nights are out there on the road
Motel ceiling stares you down
There must be safer ways to pay your dues
But even cowgirls get the blues
[Verse 5]
Even cowgirls get the blues sometimes
Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
Get this feeling like she's too far gone
The only way she's ever been
[Verse 6]
Even cowgirls get the blues sometimes
Bound to don't know what to do sometimes
Get this feeling like the rest is near
The only way she's ever been
[Verse 7]
Ooh
Whoo-hoo, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Whoo-hoo, ooh
[Verse 8]
Ooh
Whoo-hoo, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Whoo-hoo, ooh
