The childhood memories I treasure
The most I suppose
Are the Saturday afternoons spent at
The town picture show
I worked all day long in the fields
But at night I would dream
Of seeing Gene Autry go ridin'
Across the big screen
Saturday mornings I'd walk twenty
Miles or more
Twelve o'clock noon found the first one
In line at the door
'Cause all week I'd work but today
I would fulfill my dream
And I'd see Gene Autry go
Ridin' across the big screen
The man in the white cowboy hat
Was a hero to me he was then, he is now
And I guess he always will be
Time takes away many things but
It can't take a dream
And I can still see him go
Ridin' across the big screen
When as a kid from our shack
On the desert I'd roam
My daddy would whip me 'cause
I'd never be around home
But mom understood me I know
'cause she'd smile when I'd say
Gene Autry and I had been
Rounding up outlaws all day
The man in the white cowboy hat
Was a hero to me he was then, he is now
And I guess he always will be
And every so often I go back
In time and I dream and I see Gene Autry go
Ridin' across the big screen
And I see Gene Autry go
Ridin' across the big screen
