Last Of The Silver Screen Cowboys    (1982)

The last of the silver screen cowboys
The last of a fast dyin' breed
Cattle a-grazin', six guns a-blazin'
God knows, this is what America still needs

The last of the silver screen cowboys
Standin' tall for what he believes is right
Don't push him around, 'cause more than one villain's found
That he don't back down from a fight

Roy and Trigger, we love you
And Hoppy we saved up our dimes
For the Saturday double features
And we sat through both movies two times

Gene, Lash, and Rex were our heroes
We knew good would win in the end
If we could just turn back the pages
And ride those old trails once again

The last of the silver screen cowboys
We settled the score with our fists
How we loved little babies
Treated women like ladies
But it was only our horse that we kissed

Then the time slipped away 'fore we knew it
And you little wranglers put up your play guns and your toys
But memories don't die
And we're still ridin' high
We're the last of the silver screen cowboys
