Bill Anderson - Ride Off In The Sunset lyrics

rate me

There was justice in his sixgun there was magic in his name

And I always tried to be him when we played our cwboy games

I stood in line to see him ride across our small town screen

And in my mind's eye I rode with him in every scene

And he would ride off in the sunset with that friendly western smile

Ride off in the sunset no goodbyes just so long for awhile

I saw him on a talk show not too many years ago

His voice was kinda shaky and his hair was white as snow

He didn't say goodnight folks just waved his hat up in the air

And I told my young son that's my childhood hero there

He would ride off in the sunset...

I read the evening paper out in my backyard yesterday

It said that he lay dyin' in a rest home in LA

I looked out toward the sunset and I saw a golden screen

And I swear I saw him as he played out his final scene

I saw him ride off in the sunset...
