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 riding tall But my cowboy hero hat's off To the man who rode a donkey He's the greatest cowboy of them all He loves all His little dogies He speaks to them kind and gentle And He'll lift up any maverick that falls He sees every stray that's scatters Like he's the only one that matters He's the greatest cowboy of them all Once He rode into the sunset Of some returning sunrise He'll call up all the riders in the sky I'll get my roll together Getting ready for that roundup 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 On to that plane that's higher He's the greatest cowboy of them all Once He rode into the sunset Of some returning sunrise He'll call up all the riders in the sky I'll get my roll together Getting ready for that roundup 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 On to that plane that's higher He's the greatest cowboy of them all He's the greatest cowboy of them all --- The Greatest Cowboy of Them All - Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and The Highwaymen
