Mrs. Cole (John Grady's mother)
There are fences that need to be mended
There’s a stray cow off from the herd that needs to be defended
By law, we can’t 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
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
It’s roll righters trick or two
The world could use a cowboy right about now
To run those bad guys right out of town
We won’t give up and we can’t keep down
The world could use a cowboy right about now, yeah
I’ll tell you what the world could use
It’s a cavalry right to rescue
Yeah I’ll tell you what the world could use
It’s a little John Wayne kinda attitude
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
Am I taking to the West when the sun goes down?
The world could use a cowboy right about now
