Riding 'cross the desert sand
Through heat and wind he'll make his stand
He knows no fear he's a mystery man
He's the modern cowboy
In silent calm there is no sound
When the moon is out and the sun's gone down
It's quiet as he enters town
He's the modern cowboy

Searching for the evil
That plagues the country's people
He rides the land alone
And danger he calls home
So watch out if you've stolen
Be careful if you've killed
'Cause this man takes all prisoners
And capture is his skill

As the day turns dark to light
With his gun at his side and his gloves on tight
It's time to fight the final fight
He's the modern cowboy
At noon the hammer is coming down
The victory is his in this showdown
He'll face the evil in this town
He's the modern cowboy

Salute the modern cowboy, the hero of the day
He'll win the winless fight, he'll take our fears away
Salute the modern cowboy, the hero of our lives
He's come to stop the madness
Our hope is in his eyes

The sun hung high up in the sky
The contest moment had arrived
Time for one of them to die
Evil or the cowboy
The madman drew and fired his gun
The cowboy fell, evil had one
The town stood silent in the burning sun
Staring at the cowboy

Victory is mine shouted the man
I killed the savior of this land
But from the dust and desert sand
Evil watched our cowboy stand
The hero fired just one round
And evil fell to the ground
It's over now he can't be found
The cowboy rules this town

Salute the modern cowboy, the hero of the day
He won the winless fight, he'll took our fears away
Salute the modern cowboy, the hero of our lives
He's came to stop the madness
Our hope is in his eyes
