lyrics

John Ranger roaming through the wild plains
Lover of danger, can’t outrun his shame
Lakota track him through the red sands
West of South Dakota
He’s a wanted man

Riding to the Rockies
Death is at his heels
Ranger is a good man
But blood he can’t redeem

Smoke rising, chief is on a hunt
Vengeance burning, but Ranger’s got a gun
Lakota track him through the mountains
Through the Shenandoah
He’s a wanted man

Riding to the Rockies
Death is at his heels
Ranger is a good man
But blood he can’t redeem

John Ranger knows that death is near
Got a final bullet in his bandolier
Lakota find him in the red sands
Dead by his own hand
He was a wanted man

Riding to the Rockies
Death is at his heels
Ranger is a good man
But blood he can’t redeem
