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 G.A.
From Edmonton to Californ-ia
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 I When the ladies come 'round
The world could use a cowboy right about now
The world could use a cowboy...
