Let There Be Cowgirls - Chris Cagle

On that very first day, the Lord sat down

And saw fit to say, «Let there be light!»

So He could tell the day time from the night

And then he spoke again,

Felt the wind come rolling in

Smelled the rain

It soaked everything

And then the mountains rose up,

Across the Great Plains

And all the angels up in Heaven started singing,

«All it’s missing is a pretty thing»

Let there be cowgirls for every cowboy

Make them strong as any man, Lordy

Something you can’t tame,

She’s a mustang

The heartbeat of the heartland

She’s got a drawl, ya’ll,

Yeah, she’s the salt of the earth that rocks my world.

Let there be cowgirls, come on.

He made me back in '68,

The first time I met her I was nearly eight

And she was ten.

Her name was little KayLynn.

She was born to a farmer who was friends with my father,

I was in love with a sharecropper’s only daughter.

Thought I was in, he made me think again.

But when I turned 16, I thought it couldn’t get worse

I saw her riding on a horse and fell in love so bad it hurt.

Let there be cowgirls for every cowboy

Make them strong as any man, Lordy

Something you can’t tame,

She’s a mustang

The heartbeat of the heartland

She’s got a drawl, ya’ll,

Yeah, she’s the salt of the earth that rocks my world.

Let there be cowgirls, ooh, come on.

Ooh, let there be cowgirls

Ooh, let there be cowgirls

Let there be cowgirls for every cowboy

Make them strong as any man, Lordy

Something you can’t tame,

She’s a mustang

The heartbeat of the heartland

She’s got a drawl, ya’ll,

Yeah, she’s the salt of the earth that rocks my world.

Let there be cowgirls, ooh

Let there be cowgirls, come on.
