The Lone Ranger's Ballad Lyrics

I'm a lone ranger and solo I ride

With this badge on my chest

I'm know far and wide

Riding for justice just me and my steed

If you've got a problem

I've got what you need

I'm always the hero when I save the day

And many admirers would like me to stay

But love is a game I cannot play

For trouble keeps moving and I'm the same way

Lone Ranger, Lone Ranger

You can't save them all

The problem with heroes

Is they often fall

And you'll soon be hearing

Your master's call

For rules of love you've broken

The dispatch came urgent

A town was besieged

By a group of masked bandits

That were asking for me

I rode with a haste

So the town might be saved

Sometime the biggest fools are the brave

Although I live for killin' bad men

That doesn't mean that I'm free of sin

For I have a lust for a woman's soft skin

Many have told me it will be my end

Lone Ranger, Lone Ranger

You can't save them all

The problem with heroes

Is they often fall

And you'll soon be hearing

Your master's call

For rules of love you've broken

When I got to the town

Not a soul could be heard

No wind

No horses

No songs from the birds

I walked down the street

My hand at the draw

For it is my calling to stop these outlaws

I heard a soft voice, and I was astounded

When she said drop your gun

We've got you surrounded

It was a voice I had known

From a town far away

One of my lovers from back in the day

Lone Ranger, Lone Ranger

You can't save them all

The problem with heroes

Is they often fall

And you'll soon be hearing

Your master's call

For rules of love you've broken

I turned in the street

As she stood all in black

Her venomous eyes were Staring right back

Another known voice

Shouted out from the window

You saddle tramp

We knew that we'd get you

More voices laughed

As the town came alive

All my past lovers There must have been 25

All wearing black

And dressed for the kill

They said it was justice My blood would be spilled

Lone Ranger, Lone Ranger

You can't save them all

The problem with heroes

Is they often fall

And you'll soon be hearing

Your master's call

For rules of love you've broken

I've lived a life

On the road fighting crime

But have found some fine lovers

From time to time

I've broken hearts

As I rode out of town

But in my line of work

I can't be tied down

A sting in my back

As I fall to my knees

Loves bandits they slowly walk towards me

They caress my hair

And lay me down on the ground

And whisper maybe this time you'll stay around

Lone Ranger, Lone Ranger

You can't save them all

The problem with heroes

Is they often fall

And you'll soon be hearing

Your master's call

For rules of love you've broken
