Cowboy hat, and grey/black hair
This cop caught bad guys everywhere
A horse, in New York, rode it there
He played McCloud that way

Old TV westerns, his debut
As Chester Goode, the part rang true
A limping deputy, we knew
He played, "Gunsmoke" that way

The firm environmental one
Always the vegeterian
But, now his time on earth is done
McCloud..

His greatest movie role was, "Duel"
That trucking road rage film was cool
Produced by Spielberg for TV
Dennis rarely did a big screen movie
A favorite part was McCloud, he'd say

In Colorado, built his home
An environmental earthship dome
Of recycled tires, cans and foam
Solar powered all the way...

Down in Missouri he was born
His down home accent never torn
Just a lay back guy with boots well worn
Like McCloud, he was that way

We'll watch McCloud on reruns now
On TV Land, somewhere, somehow
Those great illusions, to recall

And be glad we did know, be glad we did know
So glad we did know, so glad we did know
Really glad we did know..
McCloud, after all
