Imani Coppola - Legend Of A Cowgirl Lyrics

Lyrics

I'm gonna drink my whiskey

I'm gonna have my man

I know you got nothing to say

I'm gonna have my man

Gonna steal their hearts

and save them for another day

Ain't gonna hang my hat

Ain't gonna take off my boots

Ain't nothing gonna stop me in my pursuit

My stage, time to rehearse

Gonna see all the wonders of the univers

CH: Pack my bags and mount my horse

I'm gonna ride on into the next town

Spend all my money on absolutely nothing

Need no man to pay for anything

Ain't got no shame, nobody knows my name

I'm gonna ride on into the next town

Pecos Bill, couldn't hang for long

A female legend with a song

Such a beautiful day, Such a beautiful day

I think I'll wear my brand new negligee

I'll probably change my mind

It happens every time

Just speak to my ex-fiancé

I'm gonna hunt the hunter, gonna serve'em well done

Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run

Up goes the moon, down goes the sun

Cook my dinner while I shine my gun

CH: Pack my bags and mount my horse

I'm gonna ride on into the next town

Spend all my money on absolutely nothing

Cause there ain't no thing like chickenwing

Ain't got no shame, nobody knows my name

I'm gonna ride on into the next town

Pecos Bill, couldn't hang for long

A female legend with a song

I'd give my life to be her

I'd give my live just to be her

I'd give my sight to see her

I'd give my sight just to see her

So here's the way I'm gonna break it down

Speak my mind any time 'cause I got the master plan

Power in my soul, strenght from my hand

I'm going up north to claim my land

Won't settle by river, might make me shiver

So look out and hide your fans

I'm a woman on fire with huge desire

To be as good as any man

CH: Pack my bags and mount my horse

I'm gonna ride on into the next town

Spend all my money on absolutely nothing

Need no man to pay for anything

Ain't got no shame, nobody knows my name

I'm gonna ride on into the next town

Pecos Bill, couldn't hang for long

A female legend with a song...

Legend Of A Cowgirl Info:

(buy at amazon.com)

"Legend of a Cowgirl" is a song by American singer-songwriter and rapper Imani Coppola from her debut album, Chupacabra (1997). Upon its release, the song was successful, garnering favorable critical reception and peaking within the top 40 in the United States, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand.

The song also entered singles charts in Australia, Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands. The song remains Coppola's only solo top-40 hit in each of the countries, making her a one-hit-wonder (though she later re-appeared on the UK Singles Chart as part of the R&B-pop duo Little Jackie).

Coppola wrote the song while she was in college. The lyrics were inspired by "love-life chatter" she overheard in her dorm room. The song includes cowboy and Western-related metaphors for sex, and is considered to embody female sexual independence.

The song samples Donovan's "Sunshine Superman" extensively. Coppola disliked the song, calling it the worst song on Chupacabra.

The song's success is largely credited to its music video, which depicted Coppola as a waitress at a diner, daydreaming about life as a cowgirl, alien, and rock star. The video became a hit on MTV, and received a nomination at Billboard's 1998 Music Video Awards, in the category of "Pop: Best New Artist Clip."

The song and video have been included on retrospective "best-of" lists by VH1, Spin, and Billboard.
