Woody's Waltz

Once upon a Western plain

A cowboy raced a westbound train

On a horse that was tall and a good true friend

And I have to believe it was more than pretend

Once upon a different time

When lawmen weren't just left behind

'Cause they stood for the truth and the truth didn't bend

And I have to believe it was more than pretend

More than make-believe

More than dream come true

More than wish on yonder star or two

More than just a boy's occasional friend

A toy longs to go where it's more than pretend

Once upon a certain day

When sheriffs weren't just child's play

They were tough, they were strong, they would fight to the end

And I have to believe they were more than pretend

More than make-believe

More than dream come true

More than wish on yonder star or two

More than just a boy's occasional friend

A toy longs to go where it's more than pretend

Where you practice your ridin' with a hat on your head

Where the cactus ain't plastic, they're painful instead

With a badge made of silver, a heart made of gold

And a man is both gentle and bold

Once upon a mountain high

A hero's hand could reach the sky

And the moon and the sun rose and set just to lend

A light to this world so much more than pretend

More than make-believe

More than dream come true

More than wish on yonder star or two

More than just a boy's occasional friend

A toy longs to go where it's more than pretend
