Miranda Lambert - If I Was A Cowboy Lyrics

Miranda Lambert Lyrics

"If I Was A Cowboy"

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

Riding off in the sunset, blue eyes under my Stetson
A little lady on the front porch wishing my heart would start settling
Big iron hips with the holsters
I'd be looking 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
Rolling around these towns like tumbleweeds
I'd be a legend at loving and leaving
Nipping on a whiskey and numbing 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-ooh, oh, ooh-ooh

Sitting pretty on the prairie, baby, I'm your Huckleberry, let me hold you
This six-gun sugar's got a hairpin trigger, like I told you
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
Rolling around these towns like tumbleweeds
I'd be a legend at loving and leaving
Nipping on a whiskey and numbing 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
To be cowboys, so what?

If I was a cowboy, I'd be wild and free
Rolling around these towns like tumbleweeds
I'd be a legend at loving and leaving
Nipping on a whiskey and numbing 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-ooh, I'd be the queen
Oh, ooh-ooh, oh, ooh-ooh
Oh, ooh-ooh, oh, ooh-ooh

Writer(s): Jesse Frasure, Miranda Lambert

Miranda Lambert explained, "I wrote this song with my new friend, Jesse Frasure. We met doing the remix of 'Tequila Does', and he and I just got together one afternoon for a write and this is what came out of it. It's funny, he's a Detroit boy and I'm an East Texan, but somehow we wrote a song about the Wild West together."

album: "Palomino" (2022)
