PASSION FOR PROMARKERS~ NAME THAT TUNE ~ "let there be cowgirls" by Chris Cagle ~(some of the lyrics below)

 Let there be cowgirls for every cowboy
Make them strong as any man, Lordy
Something you can't tame,
She's a mustang
The heartbeat of the heartland
She's got a drawl, ya'll,
Yeah, she's the salt of the earth that rocks my world.
Let there be cowgirls, ooh
Let there be cowgirls, come on.
