LAST OF THE SILVER SCREEN COWBOYS
Recorded by: Rex Allen, Jr. [With Rex Allen, Sr. & Roy Rogers]
Words & Music by Snuff Garrett, Steve Dorff, and Milton Brown.

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 save up our dimes
For the Saturday double-feature
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
An' ride those old trails once again.

[Vocal by Rex Allen, Sr.]
The last of the silver screen cowboys,
We settled the score with our fists.
Aw! We loved little babies, treated women like ladies,
And it was only our horse [laugh] that we kissed.

[Vocal by Roy Rogers]
Then the time slipped away 'fore we knew it,
And you little wranglers put up your play guns and your toys,
But mem'ries don't die and we're still ridin' high.
[Last verse - vocal by Roy, Rex, sr. & Rex Jr.]
We're the last of the silver screen cowboys.
