There's always gonna be a bad guy
With a black tooth grin and a notched up gun
You can bet there's gonna be a problem
If you call the law and they're late showing up
When we can't see the cover through the dust on our Bible, what’s next?

Who's gonna ride in and save the day?
Who's gonna throw that big John Wayne right hook
When it looks like everything’s gone to hell?
Tell me who
What we need is more walk than talk in the windshield not the rear view
Like some long lost song
'Cause this world's in trouble when the cowboy’s gone

There's always gonna be a fast horse
Saddled cinched up tight and ready to go
There's always gonna be a stiff drink
Waiting in a town on down the road
When the dust cloud settles can you tell me who's gonna stand up?

Who's gonna ride in and save the day?
Who's gonna throw that big John Wayne right hook
When it looks like everything’s gone to hell?
Tell me who
What we need is more walk than talk in the windshield not the rear view
Like some long lost song
'Cause this world's in trouble when the cowboy’s gone

But all hope is lost and right’s just another word

Who's gonna ride in and save the day?
Who's gonna throw that big John Wayne right hook
When it looks like everything’s gone to hell?
Tell me who
What we need is more walk than talk in the windshield not the rear view
Like some long lost song
'Cause this world's in trouble when the cowboy’s gone

(The world's in trouble, the world’s in trouble)
When the cowboy’s gone
(The world's in trouble, the world’s in trouble)
When the cowboy’s gone
(The world's in trouble, the world’s in trouble when the cowboy’s gone)
(The world's in trouble, the worlds in trouble when the cowboy’s gone)
(The world's in trouble, the world’s in trouble when the cowboy’s gone)
