Jessie James Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're gonna have to meet my mama
Gonna learn to say, yes mam
Gotta learn to call me hun'

If you wanna be my cowboy
Gotta treat me like a lady
Get the door and hold my hand
Better tell me that I'm pretty

If you wanna be my cowboy
I ain't got no time for players
Ain't no one ride rodeo
Ain't got room for no heart breakers

Giddy up, giddy up, go
Grab my hand and take me dancing
Show me off to all your friends
Rub my back and call me baby
If you wanna be my cowboy
Oh, ya ya

Better buy my favorite pony
Better learn my favorite song
Gotta lay some bling upon me

If you wanna be my cowboy
I ain't got no time for players
Ain't no one ride rodeo
Ain't got room for no heart breakers

Giddy up, giddy up, go
Grab my hand and take me dancing
Show me off to all your friends
Rub my back and call me baby
Ya ya, oh ya ya

Saddle up and take me for a little ride
Lay me down on a blanket ya
By the river side, yeah, yeah, yeah
Woo

Come on boys
I ain't got no time for players
Ain't no one ride rodeo
Ain't got room for no heart breakers

Giddy up, giddy up, go
Grab my hand and take me dancing
Show me off to all your friends
Rub my back and call me baby
If you wanna be my cowboy




Wanna be my cowboy
Oh, ya ya ya

Overall Meaning

The song "My Cowboy" by Jessie James is a fun and upbeat country song about a woman looking for a cowboy to be with. The lyrics are straightforward and simplistic, but they convey the message clearly. The song starts with the woman giving a set of criteria for any potential cowboys interested in being with her. She mentions that the cowboy should learn to respect her family and call her names like "hun." She lays out the basics for how a cowboy should treat a lady, opening the door for her and telling her she's pretty.


In the chorus, the woman reiterates that she has no time for players or heartbreakers, but instead, she wants a real cowboy who will treat her right. The chorus also mentions that the cowboy should buy her a pony and learn her favorite song. The bridge of the song is a bit more passionate, as the woman suggests they go on a little ride and lay down by the river. The song concludes with the chorus reminding the cowboy what he needs to do if he wants to be with her.


Overall, "My Cowboy" is a catchy and fun song that can appeal to country-loving individuals of all ages. It embodies the classic cowboy and western themes while also being modern and female-empowering. It can be interpreted in different ways, but the message is relatively clear: if a cowboy wants to be with her, they need to act like it and show her the respect and admiration she deserves.
