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 gently
And He'll lift up any maverick that falls
He loves every stray that scatters
Like He'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
Getting ready for that sunrise
That winds up where old cowboys never die
Well, 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
Right on to 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
Getting ready for that sunrise
That winds up where old cowboys never die
Well, 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
Right on to that plain that's higher
He's the greatest cowboy of them all
He's the greatest cowboy of them all
