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 s__

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 a___yst along
to see if it's fit to see
Whatever happened to Randolph Scott
has happened to the industry

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 Burnette
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
