The Lonely Ranger Lyrics by GhostOfAnEgo

Runaway Tales: The Ballad of the Midnight Rider

2013

[Verse I: GhostOfAnEgo]
The lone ranger, a known stranger
Deranged, full of anger
Lashed out from lashes about
His disfigureight d kid figure
You'd figure a slave back from the grave
The way scars clung to his stung, wrung body
Legend tells of how the sheriff fell
The ranger rode into town
The stranger loaded a round
One through the sheriff's hat with a laugh
One through the sheriff's back with a gasp
As the sheriff smashed to the floor
Wood stained dead red with gore
The ranger snagged the sheriff's bag
The frightened kid hid inside his
Full grown body calling for
The mommy that never came
When his daddy's can banged
Against his hard flesh
Even the heartless wept
At his spirit's unrest
But his heart kept beating the smae beat
An untamed pain remained
To be slain in his veins
The townspeople sya make him pay
That's right
Right but then he'd pay twice
To avoid his plight
He took flight
[Chorus I: Bob Marley and the Wailers]
You're running and you're running and you're running away
You're running and you're running and you're running away
You're running and you're running and you're running away
You're running and you're running and you're running away
You're running and you're running and you're running away
[Verse II: GhostOfAnEgo]
The lone ranger, a known stranger
The grass flaps back in the wind
Startling death's starting to catch up
A gallop from the gallows
He knows
His eyes, his soul shows
An unpaid toll
He rides quick to escape
But a quick ride is our fate
To maintain the pace he did it alone
A heavy toll, no one to hold
Cold night still within sight
Shivers despite the bright fire light
Eyes alert
Cries and hurt burst through his thumping chest
It's barely working yet
Visible breaths in the cold wet winter land
Saddle in hand, he knows he must ride
Before death gets to his side
He decides to survive
Heavy clumps of the heel
Of horseshoe steel
*horse galloping*
His faithful steed, in faith he didn't believe
The sun rose and he rode to it
The day passed
He rode through it
Tirelessly trying he rode pass villages in his path
Never a word as scared people observed the legend
They heard
Weeks passed until he grew weak at last
Just out of reach of the grim reaper's grasp
A wise woman would then help him keep living
Past sins forgiven, beginning a new beginning
With kisses from the misses
[Chorus II: Lana Del Rey]
Lost but now I am found
I can see but once I was blind
I was so confused as a little child
Tried to take what I could get
Scared that I couldn't find
All the answers, honey
So
Choose your last words
This is the last time
We were born to die
[Verse III: GhostOfAnEgo]
Listen death drew near and fear
The days gave way as the
Sands of time slipped away
He rose with the sun
But didn't sleep with the moon
He rose a groom
But fell asleep soon
He grabbed her hand
Laughed a nervous man
Slowly healing, a growing feeling
He grabbed her hand, laughed a nervous man
Within sight, death caught him that night
He fought him with all his might
But he didn't leave that night
Nor did his horse fright
An end to all ends
He believed it even then
Where he went next, no one can guess
Know though he was blessed
To have been a guest
