Legend Of A Cowgirl Video (MV)




"Legend of a Cowgirl" is a song by American singer-songwriter and rapper Imani Coppola from her debut album, Chupacabra (1997). Upon its release, the song was successful, garnering favorable critical reception and peaking within the top 40 in the United States, the United Kingdom, and New Zealand.

The song also entered singles charts in Australia, Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands. The song remains Coppola's only solo top-40 hit in each of the countries, making her a one-hit-wonder (though she later re-appeared on the UK Singles Chart as part of the R&B-pop duo Little Jackie).

Coppola wrote the song while she was in college. The lyrics were inspired by "love-life chatter" she overheard in her dorm room. The song includes cowboy and Western-related metaphors for sex, and is considered to embody female sexual independence.

The song samples Donovan's "Sunshine Superman" extensively. Coppola disliked the song, calling it the worst song on Chupacabra.

The song's success is largely credited to its music video, which depicted Coppola as a waitress at a diner, daydreaming about life as a cowgirl, alien, and rock star. The video became a hit on MTV, and received a nomination at Billboard's 1998 Music Video Awards, in the category of "Pop: Best New Artist Clip."

The song and video have been included on retrospective "best-of" lists by VH1, Spin, and Billboard.

Imani Coppola - Legend Of A Cowgirl Lyrics




I'm gonna drink my whiskey
I'm gonna have my man
I know you got nothing to say
I'm gonna have my man
Gonna steal their hearts
and save them for another day
Ain't gonna hang my hat
Ain't gonna take off my boots
Ain't nothing gonna stop me in my pursuit
My stage, time to rehearse
Gonna see all the wonders of the univers

CH: Pack my bags and mount my horse
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Spend all my money on absolutely nothing
Need no man to pay for anything
Ain't got no shame, nobody knows my name
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Pecos Bill, couldn't hang for long
A female legend with a song

Such a beautiful day, Such a beautiful day
I think I'll wear my brand new negligee
I'll probably change my mind
It happens every time
Just speak to my ex-fiancé
I'm gonna hunt the hunter, gonna serve'em well done
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
Up goes the moon, down goes the sun
Cook my dinner while I shine my gun

CH: Pack my bags and mount my horse
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Spend all my money on absolutely nothing
Cause there ain't no thing like chickenwing
Ain't got no shame, nobody knows my name
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Pecos Bill, couldn't hang for long
A female legend with a song

I'd give my life to be her
I'd give my live just to be her
I'd give my sight to see her
I'd give my sight just to see her

So here's the way I'm gonna break it down
Speak my mind any time 'cause I got the master plan
Power in my soul, strenght from my hand
I'm going up north to claim my land
Won't settle by river, might make me shiver
So look out and hide your fans
I'm a woman on fire with huge desire
To be as good as any man

CH: Pack my bags and mount my horse
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Spend all my money on absolutely nothing
Need no man to pay for anything
Ain't got no shame, nobody knows my name
I'm gonna ride on into the next town
Pecos Bill, couldn't hang for long
A female legend with a song...
