There are fences, that need to be mended

Theres a stray cow off from the heard, that needs to be defended

By law, we cant fight underneath the stars

He sits in his stacks and strums his guitar

I tell you what the world could use

Is a little John Wayne kind of attitude



The world could use a cowboy right about now

To run those bad guys right out of town

Run em up and cut em down

The world could use a cowboy right about now



Theres a stallion that wont be broken

All the town folk need to hear a word of courage spoken

From New York City to Atlanta, GA

From Edmonton to California

I tell you what the world could use

Its roll righters trick or two



The world could use a cowboy right about now

To run those bad guys right out of town

We wont give up and we cant keep down

The world could use a cowboy right about now

The world could use a cowboy right about now, yeah



Ill tell you what the world could use

Its a cavalry right to rescue

Yeah Ill tell you what the world could use

Its a little John Wayne kinda attitude



The world could use a cowboy right about now

The world could use a cowboy right about now, yeah



The world could use a cowboy right about now

To run those bad guys right out of town

Put your hands up and your weapons down

The world could use a cowboy right about now



The world could use a cowboy right about now

Am I talking to the West when the sun goes down

The gypsies half when you ladies come round

The world could use a cowboy right about now

The world could use a cowboy

The world could use a cowboy

The world could use a cowboy

The world could use a cowboy right about now
