Cavalry 

Written by Tommy Shaw, Gary Burr

Some men may be faint of heart when it comes time to do their part
Call my name and I will say "the cavalry is on it's way"
The winding road to true romance leaves so many things to chance
If you need someone to save the day, the cavalry is on its way

For the lady in distress, I'm John Wayne and nothing less
I'm the good guy coming to your rescue
I'm a strong and quiet guy, just say the word and you will find me
In the saddle on my way to love you
If you need someone by your side, I don't care how long you ride
Familiar title, that's ok, the cavalry is on it's way

For the lady in distress, I'm John Wayne and nothing less
I'm the good guy coming to your rescue
I'm a strong and quiet guy, just say the word and you will find me
In the saddle on my way to love you

You will not have to cry in vain
I'll brave the dust to dry the rain
Like a man from Monterrey, the cavalry is on it's way
The cavalry is on it's way

Interpretation

You can count on me to come whenever you need help. I'm like John Wayne, strong and quiet (a nod to The Quiet Man).
