"How 'bout Them Cowgirls" is a mid-tempo in which the narrator states that he has been all across America and seen many things, but all he can think about and say is "how 'bout them cowgirls". The title of the song is a play on the phrase "How 'bout them Cowboys?"

Kevin John Coyne reviewing the song for Country Universe gave the song a favorable rating stating that "what seems like a pedestrian celebration of cowgirls on the surface features several interesting layers underneath, including social commentary on female independence and the increasing urbanization of the American West."
