Everybody tells me that my life is so sweet
I wake up in the morning with sugar to eat
Everybody thinks that I have a big plan
All my girl friends think I can have any man

But let me tell you baby it just ain’t so
Let me tell ya honey I’ve got miles to go
You’d think I have enough in life to bring me joy
But all I really want is my own cowboy

I hear they're all hiding up there out on the range
Working little doggies with pastures to change
Roping and a riding and a mending a fence
Sleeping on the mesas with out any tents

So tell me what’s the secret what’s a woman to do?
I need a little help that’s why I’m asking you
I want to know what Dale did to get her Roy
Maybe that’ll help me get my own cowboy

He’s wearing tight Wranglers he’s a sight to see
From underneath that Stetson he’s a looking at me
Ain’t nothing in this whole wide world that I want more
Then wrapping these old arms around my own cowboy

Some people tell me girl you got to let it go
I’ve never been a quitter so I just say “NO”
It make take awhile I’ve got a lot at stake
Gonna keep on trying just as long as it takes

‘cause I believe he’s coming it just takes time
I feel it all round me, there ain’t no denying
In the end I’m hoping for my own love story
Raising me some babies with my own cowboy

So tell me what’s the secret what’s a woman to do?
I need a little help, that’s why I’m asking you
I want to know what Dale did to get her Roy
Maybe that’ll help me get my own cowboy

My own cowboy
My own cowboy
My own cowboy
