Lyrics

What?s the World Gonna? Do Without Cowboys
Terry Eilers-Kincaid and Mariam
BMI 2006

The winds still blow cross the prairies
Some cows still roam on the plaines
A few ranchers left tryin? to make ends meet
And prayin? each day for the rain
The news never gets any better
Even Willie?s sayin? he?s almost through
They?re becomin? a chapter in old history books
And there?s nothin? anyone can do

Chorus

What?s the world gonna? do without cowboys
In a few tears when they?re all gone
There?ll still be a few, show up at weekend rodeos
And fill the words of sad country songs
Buckles, boots and spurs, they?ll always be around
But their eras never commin? back again
What?s the world gonna? do without cowboys
When their time has come to an end

Some still spend all day in the saddle
Count on?em to always complain
About prices, their pay and old pickup trucks
And how nothin? ever stays the same
They can?t find no place to fit in
It gets worse with the rise of every sun
They just find a way to get through each day
Hopin? life?ll get back to how it begun

Chorus
