Lyrics
[Intro — Acoustic Guitar and Electric Guitar Riff]
Let that banjo ring!
Let the rodeo begin!
From the supermarket to the ranch!
Come on, everybody, jump right in!
[Verse 1]
Monday through Friday, here I go,
Eight long hours, moving to and fro.
Between the bargains and the aisles,
I dream of leaving all behind.
My feet are aching, I've had enough,
Another day of playing tough.
When the clock finally strikes seven,
I turn into the girl I've always been.
[Pre-Chorus - Building Drums and Guitars]
Nobody knows the dreams I keep,
Nobody knows the trails I seek.
When I walk out through that door,
The cowgirl in me comes alive once more!
[Chorus - Full Southern Rock Ban]
I wanna be a cowgirl,
Ride across the prairie.
With the wind blowing before me,
Free as the air!
I wanna be a cowgirl,
Hey, hey! A cowgirl!
Let the prairie hear me holler,
Let the race begin!
[Verse 2 — Driving Bass and Muted Guitar]
Scanning prices, one by one,
Beep goes the scanner, the day's not done.
But I'm dreaming of my ranch,
And a thousand trails to dance.
Hat tucked in a drawer somewhere,
Got a wild horse in my heart to spare.
When my working day is through,
No more rules — I'm breaking through!
I don't need a million bucks,
Fancy mansions, shiny trucks.
Give me a horse and a winding trail,
Under cotton-candy skies so pale.
[Pre-Chorus 2 - Stronger Build]
Nobody knows the dreams I keep,
Nobody knows the trails I seek.
When I walk out through that door,
The cowgirl in me comes alive once more!
[Chorus 2 - Bigger Harmonies]
I wanna be a cowgirl,
Ride across the prairie.
With the wind blowing before me,
Free as the air!
I wanna be a cowgirl,
Hey, hey! A cowgirl!
Let the prairie hear me holler,
Let the race begin!
[Bridge — Southern Rap over Bass and Drums]
Let that fiddle play!
Make the corral shake!
Let that upright bass hit hard!
Come on, party — don't you stop!
[Instrumental Solo —Electric Guitar and Fiddle]
[Southern-rock guitar solo with a gritty tone, answered by an energetic electric-fiddle melody. Full drums, bass and Hammond organ drive the section..]
[Final Chorus — Full Band, Backing Vocals and Ad-Libs]
I wanna be a cowgirl,
Ride across the prairie.
With the wind blowing before me,
Free as the air!
I wanna be a cowgirl,
Hey, hey! A cowgirl!
Today's the start of my adventure,
And nothing's stopping me now!
[Outro — Southern Rock Ending]
From the supermarket to the open road,
From the daily grind to the sun's warm glow.
Let those horses gallop free!
Bring on the rock 'n' roll — that's me!
[Spoken shout]
Yee-haw! Let’s ride!
Let that banjo ring!
Let the rodeo begin!
From the supermarket to the ranch!
Come on, everybody, jump right in!
[Verse 1]
Monday through Friday, here I go,
Eight long hours, moving to and fro.
