Gene Autry My Hero

Intro: verse 1 The childhood memories I treasure the most I suppose were the Saturday afternoons spent at the town's picture show I'd work all day long in the fields but at night I would dream That I'd see Gene Autry go riding across the big screen Saturday mornings I'd walk five miles or more and twelve O'clock noon found me first one in line at the door I worked all week long but today I fulfilled my dream and I'd see Gene Autry go riding across the big screen The man in the white cowboy hat is a hero to me He was and he is now and I guess he always will be Time takes away many things but it can't take a dream And I see Gene Autry go riding across the big screen verse 2 Oft as a child from our home in the country I'd roam And my Daddy would scold me cause I'd never be around home Ah but Mom understood me cause she'd always smile when I use to say Gene Autry and I have been rounding up outlaws all day The man in the white cowboy hat is a hero to me He was and he is now and I guess he always will be Time takes away many things but it can't take a dream And I see Gene Autry go riding across the big screen And I see Gene Autry go riding across the big screen
