[English]

She'll set the field on fire just cuttin' across a pasture

She'll have you fallin' for it all and then leave right after

And she got a cold heart, but she got a warm smile

Cut from the same cloth, she kinda buck wild

Little bit angel, whole lotta outlaw

She's trouble, but I'll tell you right now, y'all

Long live cowgirls

Never gonna settle on down girls

Leave you in a lonely ghost town world

Where the sun don't rise, rodeo for one night

Love you like a mustang

One hand on them giddy-up reins

Hole in your heart with some good aim

On a goodbye ride, but it's fine 'cause it's kinda my thing

Long live cowgirls

Yeah, long live cowgirls

I hate that I love the way them kisses taste like whiskey

How they wake up, take on off, and not even miss me

Leave this heart broken, holdin' that smokin' gun

I guess that's just the way them wild horses run

Let 'em run

Long live cowgirls

Never gonna settle on down girls

Leave you in a lonely ghost town world

Where the sun don't rise, rodeo for one night

Love you like a mustang

One hand on them giddy-up reins

Hole in your heart with some good aim

On a goodbye ride, but it's fine 'cause it's kinda my thing

Long live cowgirls

Yeah, long live cowgirls

Come on, cowgirls

Don't you wanna take me away?

Lay me on down, girl

With the wild kind of lovin' you make

For God's sake

Long live cowgirls

Never gonna settle on down girls

Leave you in a lonely ghost town world

Where the sun don't rise, rodeo for one night

Love you like a mustang

One hand on them giddy-up reins

Hole in your heart with some good aim

On a goodbye ride, but it's fine 'cause it's kinda my thing

Long live cowgirls

Yeah, long live cowgirls

...

Long live cowgirls

Yeah, long live cowgirls

...

  ➔ Future Simple (will) with contracted form ('ll); Gerund (cuttin')

• She'll have you fallin' for it all and then leave right after

• Where the sun don't rise, rodeo for one night

  ➔ Double Negative (don't rise - colloquial)

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission of subject 'they' in the latter clauses)
