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 hats off to the man who rode a donkey

He´s the greatest cowboy of them all
He loves all his little doggies he speaks to them kind and gently
And he´ll lift up any maverick that falls
He sees every stray that scatters like it´s the only one that matters
He´s the greatest cowboy of them all
Once he rode into the sunset but some returning sunrise
He´ll call up all the riders in the sky
I gotta get my roll together gettin´ ready for that sunrise
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 that plain that´s higher

He´s the greatest cowboy of them all
Once he rode into the sunset...
He´s the greatest cowboy of them all
