For My Hero
I was a Cowboy when Roy Rogers was on T.V.
He'd ride Trigger,while l rode my Daddy's knee,
It only took us a half hour to round up the bad guys,
Then we'd sing "Happy Trails " under Western Skies.
He gave us the Rider's Rules so we'd grow up right,
And had bed sheets that we could dream on at night,
Well they have had to close down the Museum,
And Roy,Trigger and Dale have all rode away,
But because he called me a little Wrangler,
That's what l'll proudly be until my dying day.
