That Girl Is A Cowboy Lyrics

It was a hundred and seven
We were headed to town
She had her sleeves rolled up
And the windows rolled down
That girl is a Cowboy
Robert Earl was singing out
The "Buckin'Song'
With every word that Keen was bringing
She was singing along
That girl is a cowboy
(chorus)
Sometimes the best of cowboys
Ain't cowboys at all
She's got my back
even when it's against the wall
When I need a friend
She's the guy I call
Cause sometimes the best cowboys
Ain't cowboys at all

So I took her out to show her
How to rope and ride
I can't believe that it was me
That wound up broke and tied
That girl is a cowboy

So that night I decided
We should paint the town
I made it home though
I really don't remember how
That girl is a cowboy

(repeat chorus)

There's just something that a cowgirl has
Ain't no cowboys got
Man she's something when she's one of the boys
But something else
anytime she's not
(Repeat Chorus)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
