INTRO: I turned on the news, then I wondered what for Another kid brought a gun to school, a politician lied some more It's enough to make a grown man try to make it make some sense And wonder where we lost our innocence CHORUS: Singin' come back Gene and Roy, back to the Saturday matinee Just like when I was a boy, deliver me from the bad old days The bad old days The magazine said OJ lost his head Oklahoma City rumbled, and the children bled I wish that I could change things but I don't know where to start It leaves a longing for my childhood down in my heart CHORUS BRIDGE: I'm back in the saddle, happy trails to you No I wouldn't trade the old for the new Some guy married his uncle on the Springer Show And a website full of kiddie porn is more than I wanna know My heart and soul both ache from a sickness I can't cure I need a shot of my heroes clean and pure CHORUS Singin' come back Gene and Roy (happy trails to you) Come back Gene and Roy (I'm back in the saddle) Singin' come back Gene and Roy (Happy trails to you) Come back Gene and Roy (I'm back in the saddle again) (repeat out) written by David Bellamy tabbed 8/14/05
