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 cowboy's a lucky man
 And she's hauled water from the creek and got dust all over her clothes
 She's been so hot, she 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 cowboy's 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 sees her cowboy smile
 She's glad because he's happy and that makes it all worthwhile
 They're 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
 And whether things are good or bad, right by him she will stand
 She's the wife behind the cowboy and the cowboy's a lucky man
 Oh, she's the wife behind the cowboy and the cowboy's a lucky man
