In the Real West

It's the way of life in the real West 'Neath the Prairie moon that's Heaven blessed And a tall boot 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, 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've gone To where the spurs that jingle, are the working kind It's the way of life in the real West And if I had my way, I guess I'd ride and rope and wrangle 'til 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 The stars rise up to light the western sky
