Cowgirl in the Sand Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro (0:00-1:54)]

[Verse 1: Neil Young, Ralph Molina & Danny Whitten]
Hello, cowgirl in the sand (Hello, cowgirl in the sand)
Is this place at your command?
Can I stay here for a while?
Can I see your sweet sweet smile?

[Chorus: Neil Young]
Old enough now to change your name
When so many love you, is it the same?
It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game

[Instrumental Bridge (2:35-5:19)]

[Verse 2: Neil Young, Ralph Molina & Danny Whitten]
Hello, ruby in the dust (Hello, ruby in the dust)
Has your band begun to rust?
After all the sin we've had
I was hopin' that we'd turn bad

[Chorus: Neil Young]
Old enough now to change your name
When so many love you, is it the same?
It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game
[Instrumental Bridge (6:00-8:01)]

[Verse 3: Neil Young, Ralph Molina & Danny Whitten]
Hello, woman of my dreams (Hello, woman of my dreams)
Is this not the way it seems?
Purple words on a grey background
To be a woman and to be turned down

[Chorus: Neil Young]
Old enough now to change your name
When so many love you, is it the same?
It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game

[Instrumental Outro (8:41-10:06)]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
