The World Could Use A Cowboy

There are fences that need to be mended
There's a stray cut off from the herd that needs to be defended
By a lonely campfire underneath the stars
He sings his sad songs 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
Run those bad guys right out of town
Round 'em up and hunt 'em down
The world could use a cowboy right about now
The world could use a cowboy

There's a stallion that won't 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
Is Roy Rogers and Trigger too

The world could use a cowboy right about now
Run those bad guys right out of town
A bronkin' buck, you can't keep down
The world could use a cowboy right about now
The world could use a cowboy

I tell you what the world could use
Is the cavalry riding to the rescue?
Yeah, I tell you what the world could use
Is a little John Wayne kind of attitude

The world could use a cowboy
The world could use a cowboy, yeah
The world could use a cowboy right about now
Run those bad guys right out of town

Put your hands up, lay your weapons down
The world could use a cowboy right about now
The world could use a cowboy right about now

Rides off into the west when the sun goes down
He tips his hat when the ladies come 'round
The world could use a cowboy right about now
The world could use a cowboy
