Following her gut has always served Cook well. She grew up in Selma, Ore., to a family that encouraged both of her great passions: country music and horses. “I was brought up really strong in my beliefs,” says Cook, whose major influences include Garth Brooks and Shania Twain. “My family definitely keeps me grounded—and the horses help, too.” Her love of the outdoors can be seen weekly on the Versus network series Goin’ Country, which showcases both her hunting skills and her musical talent. Cook is now hard at work writing songs for her Broken Bow debut with proven tunesmiths such as Dean Sams of Lonestar and Amy Dalley. “It’s rockin’ country, but I have great ballads, too,” she says of her new music. “It’s the music that I’ve always wanted to sing, I’ve just never had a shot at singing it.”
Now she has that shot, and she’s determined to make it count. “This is the first chance that I’ve been given to be the artist that I believe I can be,” she says. “I’m hoping that everybody’s going to like the real me.”
Lookin' For A Cowgirl

Want them a little bad to get into somethin',
Well baby that somethin′ somethin', just might be me.
Well you can fancy me up and put me in your limo,
Fly me to Vegas, hell, I'll go,
Act like I′m rollin′ in the dough, when I'm rollin′ with you.
I'm a country song on your radio
Yeah sugar and spice sure makes it nice
When you mix it with a little bit of fire and ice.
I′m a shot gun, I'm a get her done,
I'm the one you′ll be hunting when you wanna have fun,
If you′re lookin' for a girl to rock your world, honey
Then you′re lookin' for a cowgirl
I′m a daddy's little girl, I′m a mama's baby,
Taught me how to live on amazing grace, and
Get a little tough when the tough got going on
But that don't mean I ain′t sweet as honey,
I′m the one you want, right on the money,
I'm a little bit of pinch of everything that you need.
Well, I′m camo, I'm ammo,
I′m a country song on your radio
Yeah sugar and spice sure makes it nice
When you mix it with a little bit of fire and ice.
I'm a shot gun, I′m a get her done,
I'm the one you'll be hunting when you wanna have fun,
If you′re lookin′ for a girl to rock your world, honey,
Then you're lookin′ for a cowgirl
Don't be nervous, don′t be scared
It's like finding true love at the county fair,
I′m the woman that your mama told you about,
I just showed up in boots and in baseball cap.
We can do a little ridin', we can do little a fishin',
We can do a little huntin′, show you what you been missin′,
We can keep it goin' on ′til the sun comes up,
I roll you on home with my pick-up truck.
Well, I'm camo, I′m ammo,
I'm a country song on your radio
Yeah sugar and spice sure makes it nice
When you mix it with a little bit of fire and ice.
I′m a shot gun, I'm a get her done,
I'm the one you′ll be hunting when you wanna have fun,
If you′re lookin' for a girl to rock your world, honey,
Then you′re lookin' for a cowgirl

I didn't even realize, I've always listened to both without realizing they both did it. They sound kind of similar... but both soooo good
