I have always had my heroes, |
|
I've loved a lot of legends |
|
Many men in my mind are ridin' tall |
|
But my cowboy hero hats off to the man who rode a donkey |
|
He's the greatest cowboy of them all |
|
He loves all his little doggies, he speaks to them kind and gently |
|
And he'll lift up any maverick that falls |
|
He sees every stray that scatters like it's the only one that matters |
|
He's the greatest cowboy of them all |
|
Once he rode into the sunset but some returning sunrise |
|
He'll call up all the riders in the sky |
|
I gotta get my roll together gettin' ready for that sunrise |
|
That winds up where old cowboys never die |
|
The trail he rides is narrow but it's straighter than an arrow |
|
And he rides point for all the great and small |
|
He will take us through the wire onto that plain that's higher |
|
He's the greatest cowboy of them all |
|
Once he rode into the sunset |
|
He's the greatest cowboy of them all |
