Cowboy Girl
(Forrester Prentice)


I love all the roar and the rattle
The low and the bellow of cattle
I love to see the cowboys
At the rodeo

The herd I can hear is stinging
And I can see lariats swinging
My heart is always happy
At the rodeo

I want to be a real cowboy girl
And wear all the buckles and straps
And know how it feels to wear spurs on my heels
And strut around in my chaps

I want to wear a ten-gallon hat
And a belt that is four inches wide
And bulldog a steer at the fair every year
And jump on my pony and ride

I dream of the song and it lingers
In my heart I can hear all the singers
As they sing of love and friendship
At the rodeo

I love to ride in the open
On a great big cayuse just a lopin'
I'll be happy with my cowboy
From the rodeo

I want to be a real cowboy girl
And wear all the buckles and straps
And know how it feels to wear spurs on my heels
And strut around in my chaps

I want to wear a ten-gallon hat
And a belt that is four inches wide
And bulldog a steer at the fair every year
And jump on my pony and ride
