I was a young cowgirl, just one of the guys Scrapes on my knees and an eye on the prize My wild Appaloosa, she stole the show First place ribbon at the rodeo I said I don't wanna ride sidesaddle Sidesaddle, sidesaddle I just wanna ride bow-legged Bow-legged like the boys ♪ Well, I took that mare to the cattle drive And when the trail boss said that a girl can't ride I rode sixteen steer, stayed in the saddle Left the good old boys chewing on gravel I don't wanna ride sidesaddle Sidesaddle, sidesaddle I just wanna ride bow-legged Bow-legged like the boys ♪ I got my blue jeans on, feet in the stirrups Now the cowboys cry when I kick the red dirt up I leave 'em in the dust as the hot sun sets That's a sight they won't ever forget Oh, I don't wanna ride sidesaddle Sidesaddle, sidesaddle I just wanna ride bow-legged Bow-legged like the boys I said I don't wanna ride sidesaddle Sidesaddle, sidesaddle I just wanna ride bow-legged Bow-legged like the boys
