Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sometimes you dream
Sometimes it seems
There's nothing there at all
You just seem older than yesterday
And you're waiting for tomorrow to call
[Verse 2]
You draw to the curtains
And one thing's for certain
You're cozy in your little room
The carpets are paid for, God bless the TV
Let them go shoot a hole in the moon
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, and Roy Rogers is riding tonight
Returning to our silver screen
Comic book characters never grow old
Evergreen heroes whose stories we're told
[Chorus]
Oh, the great sequined cowboy
Who sings of the plains
Of round-ups and rustlers
And home on the range
[Chorus]
Turn on the TV
Shut out the lights
Roy Rogers is riding tonight
[Verse 3]
9 o'clock mornings
5 o'clock evenings
I'd liven the pace if I could
Oh, I'd rather have ham in my sandwich than cheese
But complain' wouldn't do any good
[Verse 4]
Lay back in my armchair
Close eyes and think clear
I can hear hoof beats ahead
Roy and Trigger have just hit the hilltop
While the wife and the kids are in bed
[Chorus]
Whoa-ho, and Roy Rogers is riding tonight
Returning to our silver screen
Comic book characters never grow old
Evergreen heroes whose stories we're told
[Chorus]
Oh, the great sequined cowboy
Who sings of the plains
Of round-ups and rustlers
And home on the range
[Chorus]
Turn on the TV
Shut out the lights
Roy Rogers is riding tonight
