Lyrics
Have you ever been down to Texas
And down around San Antone?
They love to go all night and treat you right
And party ’til the cows come home
I love it when they let their hair down
And dance real close to you
You know I’m a sucker, babe, for what the cowgirls do
(What the cowgirls do)
What the cowgirls do (what the cowgirls do)
They ain’t no different up in Oklahoma
They ain’t afraid to stay up ’til dawn
They love to cut and run and chug a lug
Longnecks until their money’s all gone
I love it when they let their hair down
And dance real close to you
You know I’m a sucker, babe, for what the cowgirls do
(What the cowgirls do)
What the cowgirls do (what the cowgirls do)
Shoot that thing
Well, there’s cowgirls all across the country
From Baton Rouge to Bangor Maine
It ain’t hard to see they’ll be the death of me
They’re gonna drive my little heart insane
I love it when they let their hair down
And dance real close to you
You know I’m a sucker, babe, for what the cowgirls do
(What the cowgirls do)
Well, I love it when they let their hair down
And dance real close to you
You know I’m a sucker, babe, for what the cowgirls do
(What the cowgirls do)
What the cowgirls do (what the cowgirls do)
What the cowgirls do (what the cowgirls do)
What the cowgirls do (what the cowgirls do)
What those cowgirls do (what the cowgirls do)
What the cowgirls do
(What the cowgirls do)
What the cowgirls do
(What the cowgirls do)
(What the cowgirls do)
(What the cowgirls do)
(What the cowgirls do)
(What the cowgirls do)
(What the cowgirls do)
