Lyrics When the Cowboys Gone - Tracy Lawrence

When the Cowboys Gone

There’s always gonna be a bad guy
With a black tooth grin and a notched up gun
And you can bet there’s gonna be a problem
If you call the law and they’re late showin 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 look’d like the every things 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 cowboys 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 the every things 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 cowboys gone
When all but hope is lost and rights 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 the every things 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 cowboys gone
