1st Verse
All of my idols rode white stallions
At the Downtown Matinee
I cheered the good guys, booed the bad
Loved Cowgirls who would say:
"Rope me a pony, build me a campfire,
we'll sing the day away"......
You could ride forever,
At the Downtown Matinee......

Chorus

Now, we'd hunt for outlaws down in the front row
Raise our guns up to the sky
Ridin' and ropin' and all that kid stuff
You might even say, "Oh those were the days!"
How we had it made!
At the Downtown Matinee............

2nd Verse
We rode with John Wayne, sang with Roy Rogers
Rescued a runaway train
Now the popcorn's gone. the good guys won
But memories still remain
Me and my brother vowed one another,
We'd cover each other always.
And we will ride forever
At the Downtown Matinee............

Chorus Repeat..................
