Wasted Rock Ranger
by Great White
This is the -side to the Once Bitten Twice Shy single that came out many years ago. It has been stuck in
head for some time now. I hope you all get a kick out of it as well. It sounds great on an acoustic.
anyone knows another way to play I would love to hear your suggestions.
Well, I'm a Wasted Rock Ranger, I live a life of danger
On the road to find a higher high
I don't need no one's affection, All I need is my injection,
My out of tune Les Paul will get me by
I've been doin' gigs since I was ten and really can't remember when
I ever had a dollar to my name
My ears are blown, my eyes are red, I've got big holes inside my head
From snorting too much crystal and cocaine
I have bennies with the mornin' toast, Qualudes with the evenin' roast
Assorted snorts of powder in between
I don't think a days gone by, That I wasn't drunk or high
It's the only way I keep my sanity
From Keggers Den to Hootersville, My flamming dreams have topped the bill
thousand empty bottles earned my name
Endless dreams of one night stands, Sharing gigs with half-ass bands
And all the local groupies lay the same
Well I coulda' had a payin' job, workin' for some fucked up slob
Wife or family, true security
But I left that shit behind, With all that heavy metal grind
'Cause Rock & Roll is in my blood to stay (among other things...)
Hey! You're a Wasted Rock Ranger, You'll live a life of danger
Sing this song and follow it to the end
And when you reach number one **You can overdose for fun**
And go and visit Jimi and his friends
(whistle)x4
(solo)x8
Hey! You're a Wasted Rock Ranger, You'll live a life of danger
Sing this song and follow it 'till the end
And when we reach number one **We'll all overdose for fun**
And we'll hang out with Jimi and his friends (Yee-Haa)
