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.
