  • On that very first day, the Lord sat down
    And saw fit to say, "let there be light"
    So He can tell the daytime from the night
    And then He spoke again, we felt the wind
    Come rolling in, smelt the rain
    And soaked everything, yeah

    And then the mountains rose up
    Across the great planes
    And all the angels up in Heaven started singing
    All it's missing is pretty thing

    Let there be cowgirls for every cowboy
    Make 'em strong as any man, Lordy
    Something you can't tame, she's a Mustang
    The heartbeat of the heartland
    She's got a drawl y'all
    Yeah, she's the salt of the earth that rocks my world
    Let there be cowgirls, come on

    He met me back in '68
    The first time I met her I was nearly eight and she was ten
    Her name was little Kay-Lynn
    She was born to a farmer who was friends with my father
    I was in love with a sharecropper's only daughter
    Thought I was in, he made me think again

    But when I turned sixteen
    I thought it couldn't get worse
    I saw her riding on a horse and fell in love so bad it hurt

    Let there be cowgirls for every cowboy
    Make 'em strong as any man, Lordy
    Something you can't tame, she's a Mustang
    The heartbeat of the heartland
    She's got a drawl y'all
    Yeah, she's the salt of the earth that rocks my world
    Let there be cowgirls, ooh, come on

    Ooh, let there be cowgirls
    Ooh, let there be cowgirls

    Let there be cowgirls for every cowboy
    Make 'em strong as any man, Lordy
    Something you can't tame, she's a Mustang
    The heartbeat of the heartland
    She's got a drawl y'all
    Yeah, she's the salt of the earth that rocks my world, soot
    Let there be cowgirls
    Ooh, let there be cowgirls, come on, woo Writer/s: Christopher N Cagle, Kim Chadwick Tribble
