It's Friday night on the East Side, country band at the bar
Same old 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
