This song is the history of a country and states and towns big and small a simpler time before this world started going crazy. When Gene Autry Roy Rogers and John Wayne were heros with values and character people went to church families worked it out and stayed together. A more noble time in American history. Wish the younger generation would go back study and understand this time in history
@@libertyann439 And it's because of ass hats like you that this song could not be made today. The references to "black hats" would be deemed racist by morons that see everything from math to names of birds as a racist plot.
This really makes me tear up...My Hometown theater was called "The Washington" in Swissvale, Pa....Sometimes I pass by the location where it was, which is now just a vacant lot....I always remember those Saturday Morning serials my buddies and I used to watch...Those double features...and the phrase..."This is where I came In", as no one really knew when the movie started and sometimes you came in when it was in the middle...or almost over and you went in the Rest Room until it was over so you didn't see the end...Great Memories...Yep...The Washington Theater is gone now, but will always be remembered by those who watched their favorites in.....
To every silver cowboy who rode the silver screen Do you remember ridin' through the strand And do you remember me I'm the front row kid Who galloped right behind you 'til the end And saved your life so often by callin' out your name When it looked like Blackie had the upper hand We saved towns and ranches in spite of threats and rain While stayin' safe and dry inside the Strand The Strand it was a fortress in the heart of town It's marquee proudly boasted out you name Sendin' out a message to youngin's all around And each and every Saturday we came We came to watch our hero's ride the silver screen In hot pursuit of Blackie's outlaw band I wish that I could walk up to that ticket booth again And buy just one more ticket to the Strand But our town is changin' and it seems we need A parking lot to help our town expand Today I learned a lesson, like you I must be brave Today I learned their tarein' down the Strand I wish that there was somethin' Fellow's we could do One more effort before we disband We've saved those towns and ranches And now before we're through Seems we ought to try to save the Strand But they say it's over and I guess it's true They'll park their cars where horses used to stand I'll try to use the courage that I learned from you Every time I think about the Strand And If I could live life over there's much that I would change And possibly I'd be a different man I'd follow many different trails but one would stay the same And that's the one that led me to the Strand That happy trail that led me to the Strand
They hit you right in the heart with these wonderful songs.
The Statlers were word weavers.

Sadly, the Town Theatre in my hometown was just torn down last year. Loved those Saturday morning shows!

Oh the memories this evokes, and oh how I wish times were simpler like this again. :(
so good
To every silver cowboy who rode the silver screen
Do you remember ridin' through the strand
And do you remember me I'm the front row kid
Who galloped right behind you 'til the end
And saved your life so often by callin' out your name
When it looked like Blackie had the upper hand
We saved towns and ranches in spite of threats and rain
While stayin' safe and dry inside the Strand
The Strand it was a fortress in the heart of town
It's marquee proudly boasted out you name
Sendin' out a message to youngin's all around
And each and every Saturday we came
We came to watch our hero's ride the silver screen
In hot pursuit of Blackie's outlaw band
I wish that I could walk up to that ticket booth again
And buy just one more ticket to the Strand
But our town is changin' and it seems we need
A parking lot to help our town expand
Today I learned a lesson, like you I must be brave
Today I learned their tarein' down the Strand
I wish that there was somethin' Fellow's we could do
One more effort before we disband
We've saved those towns and ranches
And now before we're through
Seems we ought to try to save the Strand
But they say it's over and I guess it's true
They'll park their cars where horses used to stand
I'll try to use the courage that I learned from you
Every time I think about the Strand
And If I could live life over there's much that I would change
And possibly I'd be a different man
I'd follow many different trails but one would stay the same
And that's the one that led me to the Strand
That happy trail that led me to the Strand
Great one,haven't heard this for years! Thank you!
Do you have When I Stop Dreaming from that album by chance?
Yes, I have every album they ever released. I will put something together for you in a few minutes.
The Statlers are the best
