The Greatest Cowboy Of Them All

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
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
He's the greatest cowboy of them all
