Verse 1

On that very first day, the Lord sat down and saw fit to say

 "Let there be light!" so he could tell the day time from the night

And then he spoke again, felt the wind come rolling in

 Smelt the rain, it soaked everything

Prechorus 1

And then the mountains rose up, across the Great Plains

And all the angels up in Heaven started singing,

"All it's missing is a pretty thing"

Chorus

 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, ya'll,

 Yeah, she's the salt of the earth that rocks my world

Let there be cowgirls, come on

Verse 2

He made me back in '68, the first time I met her I was nearly eight

 And she was ten, her name was little KayLynn

 She was born to a farmer who was friends with my father,

 I was in love with the sharecropper's only daughter

Thought I was in, he made me think again

Prechorus 2

But when I turned 16, I thought it couldn't get worse

I saw her riding on a horse and fell in love so bad it hurt

Chorus

 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, ya'll,

 Yeah, she's the salt of the earth that rocks my world

Let there be cowgirls, ooooooh, come on

Chorus

 Let there be cowgirls for every cowboy

 Make them strong as any man, Lordy

 Something you can't tame, she's a mustang

 The heartbeat of the heartland

 She's got a drawl, ya'll,

 Yeah, she's the salt of the earth that rocks my world

Son!

Let there be cowgirls, ooooooh

 Let there be cowgirls, come on
