Picture this: a world where cowboys and hippies get along or where barbed wire fences can not stop blessings from spreading. That is the world Lainey Wilson paints in her soul stirring new song “Peace, Love & Cowboys.” With just a few simple lines and that signature raspy voice, she gives us something rare these days, a musical hug that feels like sunshine after a prolonged rain.
In this stripped-down performance, Lainey lets the song’s powerful message shine as there’s no fancy production, just her honest voice and an acoustic guitar. The lyrics weave together opposites (cowboys and hippies, barbed wire and blessings) to create a vision of unity that feels both nostalgic and urgently needed today. It’s classic Lainey, equal parts country wisdom and hopeful heart, delivered with that down-home charm we can’t resist.
We need more peace, love and cowboys
Fans called it “medicine for the soul” and “the anthem 2024 didn’t know we needed.” Many shared stories of playing it for family gatherings or tough days at work. The comments overflow with people saying Lainey put their feelings into words better than they ever could. Some teachers even started using it in classrooms to spark talks about kindness and understanding between different kinds of people.
But if “Peace, Love & Cowboys” shows Lainey’s thoughtful side, her live performance of “Whirlwind” at the ACM Awards reveals her full superstar power. Watch how she commands the stage with energy to spare, turning personal lyrics about her crazy ride to fame into a celebration everyone can join. It’s the perfect contrast, the same authentic Lainey, just turned up to eleven with flashing lights and a roaring crowd.
