“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
