To every silver cowboy who rode the silver screen

Do you remember ridin' through the strand

And do you remember me I'm the front row kid

Who galloped right behind you 'til the end



And saved your life so often by callin' out your name

When it looked like Blackie had the upper hand

We saved towns and ranches in spite of threats and rain

While stayin' safe and dry inside the Strand



The Strand it was a fortress in the heart of town

It's marquee proudly boasted out you name

Sendin' out a message to youngin's all around

and each and every Saturday we came



We came to watch our hero's ride the silver screen

In hot pursuit of Blackie's outlaw band

I wish that I could walk up to that ticket booth again

And buy just one more ticket to the Strand



But our town is changin' and it seems we need

A parking lot to help our town expand

Today I learned a lesson, like you I must be brave

Today I learned their tarein' down the Strand



I wish that there was somethin' Fellow's we could do

One more effort before we disband

We've saved those towns and ranches

And now before we're through

Seems we ought to try to save the Strand



But they say it's over and I guess it's true

They'll park their cars where horses used to stand

I'll try to use the courage that I learned from you

Every time I think about the Strand



And If I could live life over there's much that I would change

And possibly I'd be a different man

I'd follow many different trails but one would stay the same

And that's the one that led me to the Strand

That happy trail that led me to the Strand
