It's Friday night on the East Side
Country band at the bar
Same ol' shit every weekend
Everybody's looking the part
I bet most of these boots have probably
Never seen any dirt
And the ground ain't any softer if you're wearing a rhinestone shirt
Oh, everybody wants to be a cowgirl
Till it's 5 in the morning and it's cold as hell
And the work ain't gonna do itself
Everybody wants to be a cowboy these days
Until it's time to stay
Until it's time to stay
Everybody wants the freedom
Miles and miles of space
Moving on to the next thing
When the wind ain't blowing their way
But you know that ain't gonna cut it
It's gonna take a lot of heart
You're gonna have to duct tape it back together when it falls apart
Oh, everybody wants to be a cowgirl
Till it's 5 in the morning and it's cold as hell
And the work ain't gonna do itself
Everybody wants to be a cowboy these days
Until it's time to stay
Until it's time to stay
Everybody wants to be a cowgirl
Till the truck breaks down in the Cheyenne snow
And you still got a really long way to go
Everybody wants to be a cowboy these days
Until it's time to stay
Till it's time to stay
Until it's time to stay
