It's the way of life in the real West
Beneath the prairie moon that's heaven blessed
And a tall shuffle on a wooden floor
It's a clean white shirt on a Saturday night
And a long cold beer that's pure delight
And if you heard me say it, well there's a whole lot more
It's the way of life in the real West
I'm a city girl but I must confess
I'd be a cowboy angel and I know what for
It's the way of life in the real West
Where your time is yours when the sun sets
And the stars rise up to light the western sky
Laredo up north to Cimarron
If I'm lost you know I'm gonna wear the spurs
And jingles are the working kind
It's the way of life in the real West
And if I were a man I'd guess
I'd ride and rope and wrangle till the day I die
It's the way of life in the real West
I'm a city girl but I must confess
I'd be a cowboy angel and I know what for
It's the way of life in the real West
Where your time is yours when the sun sets
And the stars rise up to light the western sky
And the stars rise up to light the western sky
Your lady
