Miranda Lambert If I Was a Cowboy Music Video

The music video shows footage of Miranda riding her Gypsy Vanner horse.  Miranda owns five horses at her farm in Tennessee and the Gypsy Vanner horse breed is her favorite.

“If I Was a Cowboy” was co-written by Miranda Lambert with Jesse Frasure and produced by Luke Dick and Jon Randall,  “We met doing the remix of ‘Tequila Does’ and he and I just got together one afternoon for a write and this is what came out of it,” Lambert said in a statement. “It’s funny, he’s a Detroit boy and I’m an East Texan, but somehow we wrote a song about the Wild West together.”

Miranda Lambert If I Was a Cowboy Lyrics

Ridin’ off in the sunset, blue eyes under my Stetson
A little lady on the front porch wishin’ my heart would start settling
Big iron hips with the holsters
I’d be lookin’ mighty fine on a poster
Wanted by the law but the laws don’t apply to me

If I was a cowboy, I’d be wild and free
Rollin’ around these towns like tumbleweeds
I’d be a legend at loving and leaving
Nipping on a whiskey and numbing up my feelings
You thought the West was wild but you ain’t saddled up with me
If I was a cowboy, I’d be the queen

Sittin’ pretty on the prairie, baby, I’m your huckleberry, let me hold ya
This six-gun sugar’s got a hairpin trigger, like I told ya
And this dove never really gets lonesome
I never begged, never borrowed but I stole some
Wanted by the law but the laws don’t apply to me, baby

If I was a cowboy, I’d be wild and free
Rollin’ around these towns like tumbleweeds
I’d be a legend at loving and leaving
Nipping on a whiskey and numbing up my feelings
You thought the West was wild but you ain’t saddled up with me
If I was a cowboy, I’d be the queen

So mamas if your daughters grow up
To be cowboys, so what

If I was a cowboy, I’d be wild and free
Rollin’ around these towns like tumbleweeds
I’d be a legend at loving and leaving
Nipping on a whiskey and numbing up my feelings
You thought the West was wild but you ain’t saddled up with me
If I was a cowboy, I’d be the queen, oh
I’d be the queen
