Glen Campbell - Gene Autry, My Hero lyrics
[Glen Campbell - Gene Autry, My Hero lyrics]
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
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
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
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
