This song was inspired by and written for my wife, Amber.
Cowgirls can be those that are out on the range ropin’ and ridin’, but when I think of a cowgirl I think of those women that exemplify strength, independence, strong-mindedness, and determination. Those attributes shine through Amber on a daily basis by the way she sticks by me, never gives up, and always has encouraging words to offer even in the toughest of times. Amber’s not only the real rockstar of the household, she’s a true “cowgirl”.
(Intro)
A Sky full of stars
A saddle for a pillow
Whistlin’ wind on the range
Smell of mesquite
From a Cracklin’ fire glowin’ soft
And his coffee to drink
Cowboy’s are rugged, they’re wild and they’re tough
All the stories they tell are all true
But a cowboy ain’t nothin till he’s loved by a cowgirl like you
(Verse)
You’re that sip of Anejo
In a dusty old bar
At the end of a long lonesome trail
You’re that first taste of freedom
First breathe of fresh air
to an outlaw just outta jail
You’re the dream I had someday
Of That nail by the doorway
I could hang this ole hat on to
No a cowboy ain’t nothin till he’s loved by a cowgirl like you
(Chorus)
These wide-open spaces ain’t meant for wanderin’ alone
With you right beside me that old desperado feelin’ inside me is gone
Now when I look in your eyes
And see the rest of my life
There ain’t a sunset worth ridin’ into
A cowboy ain’t nothin’ till he’s loved by a cowgirl like you
These wide-open spaces ain’t meant for wanderin’ alone
With you right beside me that old desperado feelin’ inside me is gone
Now when I look in your eyes
And see the rest of my life
There ain’t a sunset worth ridin’ into
A cowboy ain’t nothin’ till he’s loved by a cowgirl like you
No a cowboy ain’t nothin’ till he’s loved by a cowgirl like you
