Lyrics
Oh-ooh, oh-ooh
Oh-ooh, oh-ooh

Ridin' off in the sunset, blue eyes under my Stetson
A little lady on the front porch wishin' my heart would start settlin'
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 lovin' and leavin'
Nippin' on a whiskey and numbin' 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

Oh-ooh, oh-ooh

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 lovin' and leavin'
Nippin' on a whiskey and numbin' 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 (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
To be cowboys, so what? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

If I was a cowboy, I'd be wild and free (oh, I'd be free)
Rollin' around these towns like tumbleweeds (tumblin' tumbleweeds)
I'd be a legend at lovin' and leavin'
Nippin' on a whiskey and numbin' up my feelings
You thought the West was wild, but you ain't saddled up with me (up with me)
If I was a cowboy, I'd be the queen, whoa
I'd be the queen

Oh-ooh, oh-ooh
Oh-ooh, oh-ooh
