Even Cowgirls Get the Blues Songtext
von Emmylou Harris with Dolly Parton & Linda Ronstadt

She′s a rounder, I can tell you that
She can sing 'em all night too
She′ll raise hell about the sleep she lost
Even cowgirls get the blues

Especially cowgirls, they're the gypsy kind
And need the reins laid on 'em loose
She′s lived to see the world turned upside down
Hitching rides out of the blue


But even cowgirls get the blues sometimes
Bound together, what to do sometimes
Get this feeling like she′s too far gone
The only way she's ever been

Lonely nights are out there on the road
Motel ceiling stares you down
There must be safer ways to pay your dues
But even cowgirls get the blues

Even cowgirls get the blues sometimes
Bound together, what to do sometimes
Get this feeling like she′s too far gone
The only way she's ever been


Even cowgirls get the blues sometimes
Bound together, what to do sometimes
Get this feelin′ like the restless wind
The only way she's ever been
