As observed by the author
Why do I want to be a Rodeo Queen?
Is it pride, do I just want to be seen?
Is it a stepping stone to something better?
Or just to put on my resume letter?
Do I ride that horse just to be Queen?
Do I think, on the horse I look pretty keen?
Why do I dress in these western duds?
Why do I primp and clean in these suds?
I'll tell you why I want to be Queen.
I don't go to all this work just to be seen.
I dress like a cowgirl just for the look.
I love the west and its values I took.
My horse is a friend to me.
With him my dreams are set free.
I train him so we can be one.
With him I've shared lots of fun.
I like the feeling of being free.
Western life suits me to a tee.
I'll always have these feelings inside,
For in the west I have much pride.
As Queen, I could share my love of the west,
For talking about cowboys is what I do best.
I'd love to travel and meet new friends.
I'm not interested in the preppie trends.
I'll tell how rodeo got its start.
How cowboys need lots of heart.
I'll tell how the ropers must beat the clock,
And how the contractors care for thier stock.
When the year's over and I retire my crown,
I won't be seen with a long frown.
I'll still have my horse that needs lots of work,
And that's one job I'll never shirk.
At the end of my reign, I'll never look back,
To wish I was still on that Queen title track.
I'll be thankful I was able to share my love,
For cowboys, the rodeo and God up above.
