This Cowgirls Gotta Ride
Words and Music by Dave S. Barnes
Wolfjamm Music 2003


YOU SAY I’M LOOKING MIGHTY CUTE (FINE)
IN MY BLUEJEANS AND MY BOOTS
PITCHING HAY IN THE DUELLY
FOR THE LIVESTOCK ON THE BUTTE
YOU KNOW MY MAMA TAUGHT ME HOW TO COOK
AND MY DADDY HOW TO SHOOT
BUT SOMETHING ALWAYS SEEMED TO BE MISSING
AND THERE AIN’T NO SUBSTITUTE

THIS COWGIRLS GOTTA RIDE
AND FEEL THE WIND IN THESE BROWN (BLUE OR GREEN) EYES
CAST ALL MY CARES ASIDE
AND KNOW THE LOVE OF GODS’ INSIDE
THIS COWGIRLS GOTTA RIDE
AND FEEL MY DOUBTS AND FEARS SUBSIDE
COMPLETELY SATISFIED
WHILE HANGING ON TO THIS HORSEHIDE

YOU SAY I’M WORKING MIGHTY HARD
IN THE KITCHEN AND THE BACKYARD
WATCHING MY KIDS GET UNRULY
AND CATCHING ME OFF GUARD
YOU KNOW MY MAMA TAUGHT ME HOW TO SWEAR
AND MY DADDY HOW TO RIDE FENCE
BUT SOMETHING ALWAYS SEEMED TO BE MISSING
AND NOW IT’S MAKING SENCE

CHORUS

YOU KNOW I LOVE MY LIFE WITH ALL THE HAPPINESS IT BRINGS
BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN I HAVE TO STOP AND SPREAD MY WINGS

BREAK

CHORUS
