[Verse 1]
She's a rounder I can tell you that
She can sing 'em all night too
She'll raise hell about the sleep she lost
But even cowgirls get the blues

[Verse 2]
Especially cowgirls, they're the gypsy kind
And need the reins laid on 'em loose
She's lived to see the world turned upside down
Hitching rides out of the blue

[Chorus]
But even cowgirls get the blues sometimes
Bound together, what to do sometimes
Get this feeling like she's too far gone
The only way she's ever been

[Verse 2]
Lonely nights are out there on the road
Motel ceiling stares you down
There must be safer ways to pay your dues
But even cowgirls get the blues

[Chorus]
Even cowgirls get the blues sometimes
Bound together, what to do sometimes
Get this feeling like she's too far gone
The only way she's ever been

Even cowgirls get the blues sometimes
Bound together, what to do sometimes
Get this feeling like she's too far gone
The only way she's ever been

Emmylou Harris was born in Birmingham, Alabama on April 2, 1947 to Walter and Eugenia Harris. She attended Garfield Senior High School where she graduated as Valedictorian. She then went to UNCG School of Music, Theatre & Dance at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro but dropped out to pursue her musical talents.

Emmylou married Tom Slocum in 1969, but this was a very short marriage as they divorced the following year. It was long enough, however, to produce a daughter, Mika Hallie Slocum, on March 15, 1970. In 1977 she married Brian Ahern and they were married roughly seven years. The couple had one daughter together, Meghann Theresa “M.T” Ahern, born September 9, 1979. In 1985, she married Paul Kennerley who she was married to until 1993.

The 5'5" singer-songwriter is known for songs such as “Beneath Still Waters”, “Together Again”, “Two More Bottles of Wine”.
