Wife Behind The Cowboy

There's lots of pretty cowgirls but this you may not know

There's a very special kind at every rodeo

Her husband is a cowboy she's his greatest fan

She's the wife behind the cowboy and the cowboys a lucky man

She's hauled water from the crick and got dust all over her clothes

She's been so hot she's thought she'd die and so cold she nearly froze

She's cooked over an open fire slept under the stars above

And you know she'd do it all again just to be with the man she loves

She rides the circuit with her man they go from town to town

She builds up his confidence when the horses buck him down

And she's driven weary miles across an endless land

She's the wife behind the cowboy and the cowboys a lucky man

When he climbs down in the chute and about to start his ride

She cheers more than anyone with a special kind of pride

And when she hears that whistle blow and she sees her cowboy smile

She's glad because he's happy and that makes it all worthwhile

There on the move and seldom home but yet she won't complain

If her cowboy's back is ackin' she'll rub away the pain

Weather things are good or bad right by him she will stand

She's the wife behind the cowboy and the cowboys a lucky man

Oh she's the wife behind the cowboy and the cowboys a lucky man
