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
