Everybody knows when you go to the show
|
you can't take the kids along.
|
You've gotta read the paper and know the code of G, PG, and R, and X,
|
and you gotta know what the movie's about
|
before you even go.
|
Tex Ritter's gone, and Disney's dead,
|
and the screen is filled with sex.
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
Whatever happened to Randolph Scott
|
ridin' the trail alone?
|
Whatever happened to Gene and Tex,
|
and Roy, and Rex, the Durango Kid?
|
Oh, Whatever happened to Randolph Scott,
|
his horse plain as could be?
|
Whatever happened to Randolph Scott
|
has happened to the best of me.
|
[ guitar ]
|
|
Everybody¡¯s tryin' to make a comment
|
about our doubts and fears.
|
True Grit's the only movie
|
I've really understood in years.
|
You gotta take your analyst along
|
to see if it's fit to see.
|
Whatever happened to Randolph Scott
|
has happened to the industry.
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
Whatever happened to Johnny Mack Brown,
|
and Alan "Rocky" Lane?
|
Whatever happened to Lash LaRue?
|
I'd love to see them again.
|
Whatever happened to Smiley Burnett,
|
Tim Holt, and Gene Autry?
|
Whatever happened to all of these
|
has happened to the best of me.
|
|
Whatever happened to Randolph Scott
|
has happened to the industry.
