Ranger
(softly)
Why~y
Do I~I
Fall in love, when I am only a ranger?
(normal)
Driving 80 miles an hour down an unpaved country road
I pull into a motel 8 o'clock
And the dead of silence greets me, as I run out on the street.
The cold wind's all that stirs up this ghost town.
And before I left they asked me
What was going wrong?
I said all was fine, but it's my own choice to choose,
But now I'm gone I wonder
If I'm the one who's wrong.
At least before I had something to lose.
CHORUS:
Tell me why~y
Do I~I
Slow the fall, only to fall for longer?
And why~y
Do I~I
Stop the fight, only to fight something stronger?
And why~y
Do I~I
Fall in love, only to kiss a stranger?
And why~y
Do I~I
Fall in love, when I am only a ranger?
Last night my heart was quaking, as I told you that I love you.
First time we'd used those words, so hard to say,
And then you left me hanging, and then you sent me from your life,
Said that you did not believe my love was for you.
You said a man can only
Have one love at a time,
And I could never give you what you need.
[CHORUS]
The drums they pound inside me now,
I can share my soul with the world,
But always I'll be doomed to missing you.
Pretty girls, flashy lights;
They can't fill these empty nights,
But it's my choice � 'least now I've got nothing to lose.
[CHORUS]
[CHORUS, replace last line with:
Why~y
Do I~I
Fall in love, with being a ranger?]
(softly)
Why~y
Do I~I
Fall in love, with being a ranger?
