Waylon Jennings - The Greatest Cowboy Of Them All lyrics

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 heads off To a man who rode a donkey He's the greatest cowboy of them all He loves all his little doggies Speaks to them kind and gently And he'll lift up any maverick that falls He sees 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 returned in sunrise He'll call up all the riders in the sky I'll get my roll together Gettin' ready for that round-up 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 a plain that's higher He's the greatest cowboy of them all Once he rode into the sunset But some returned in sunrise He'll call up all the riders in the sky I'll get my roll together Gettin' ready for that round-up 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 lead us through the wire Onto a plain that's higher He's the greatest cowboy of them all He's the greatest cowboy of them all
