Silver screen heroes in star-spangled rhinestones
Saturday morning, up with the dawning
So ride on...King Of The Cowboys
You rode away with our hearts
Now life in the fastlane
So ride on...King Of The Cowboys
- Lionel Cartwright
Shine for a while, then they're gone.
Straight shootin' cowboys with legends that fade
But one legend keeps living on.
We saddled and rode right along.
With Trigger and Roy and a box full of popcorn
We learned to tell right from wrong.
Saddle pals always ridin' along.
'Cross the wide open spaces
And trails of a lifetime
King Of The Cowboys...ride on.
And no one has taken your place.
Thanks for the hero you are
And all the mem'ries that time just can't erase.
Ain't life on the high plains.
Still there are times I recall
The lessons you taught us on Saturday mornings
And Roy, we remember them all.
Saddle pals always ridin' along.
'Cross the wide open spaces
And trails of a lifetime
King Of The Cowboys...ride on.
