There are fences, that need to be mended
Theres a stray cow off from the heard, that needs to be defended

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

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

Its roll righters trick or two

Its a cavalry right to rescue
Yeah Ill tell you what the world could use

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 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 n
