At the rodeo I proved who was best
And the motion picture studio offerend me a test
And like a fool I let it go to my head
To my faithful Mary I said
Mary I'm a cowboy hero and they want me to be in the movies
And Mary I hope that you will understand
I've gotta think about my future and you just don't fit in the picture
So Mary I guess that this is the end
And Mary I hope we can still be friends
Well I moved to Hollywood I became a star
Bought a big fine house and a fancy car
But all of these things could not erase
The mem'ry of Mary's warm embrace
So I ran back to Mary my heart in my hand
I asked her to take me back again
I never dreamed she would tell me no
But she turned her back and she told me to go
I said Mary I'm a cowboy hero I made a lotta money in the movies
And I've come to get you in my big fine car and make you my bride
And she said well Mr Cowboy Hero after that you've done to me
Sou can just saddle up your Cadillac and ride (ride ride)
And this great big cowboy hero broke down and cried (cried cried)
And the words I said kept runnin' through my mind
Mary I'm a cowboy hero and they want me to be in the movies
