No One Took Their Place

they rode boldly across the silver screen, these hero's of my youth; they lived their lives by the "code of the west", and honor was a part of that code, truth and honor was in their blood; my hero's lived their lives by this code, they lived boldly up there on the big screen, so much bigger than life; yes,these were my hero's, these brave men who rode on horse back, and who carried the law in a holster, while riding tall in the saddle; oh how i eagarley followed their exploits, men like Roy rogers and the Cisco Kid, along with Gene Autry ,John Wayne,and the Lone Ranger; these men kept the law in the wild west, along with hop-a-long,and Tex Ritter, and i anxiously followed their adventures, until that sad,sad day when---, they rode off into the sun set; yes, they rode off into the sunset, old John,Roy, and Gene, they rode off into the sunset,and no one took their place; how sad i felt on that dark dreary day, when my hero's rode away, but no one took their place, and,no one took their place.
