Somewhere in the great beyond a ranger rides upon 
 his one and only friend 
 feels like it's riding him 
 He figures while he's here, 
 though they retain a fear, 
 he'll do the best he can to be a better man 
 He smokes a signal out, he polishes his gun 
 cruises the galaxy, away from everyone 
 He prays to God to save his dear beloved ones 
 until the day his soul rises 
    Life is the gift that we make 
 Love is a risk that we take 
 Death is just the final form of conformity 
 if that's what becoming it means 
 well then I'd rather be the 
 Lone ranger 
 (rather be alone)   
 Somewhere in the sands of time 
 there was a brother time 
 like legends before him 
 was proud to be like them 
 but legends burn so bright, and as they often do 
 too quickly are put out and brother time was too 
 He could have cut his hair, 
 he could have been your friend 
 but he had found it wise to disregard the truth 
 It's hard to ride it out, it's hard to walk alone 
 But as I'm getting old, finding   
 Life is the gift that we make 
 Love is a risk that we take 
 Death is just the final form of conformity 
 if that's what becoming it means 
 well then I'd rather be the 
 Lone ranger   
 Hey would you like to know a secret 
 I've seen a spirit before 
 and it keeps on calling me to run 
 I can't fight it but when the spirit is done 
 you're gone 
 (gone)   
 Life is the gift that we make 
 Love is a risk that we take 
 Death is just the final form of conformity 
 if that's what becoming it means 
 well then I'd rather be the 
 Lone ranger   
 Rather be the lone ranger   
 Rather be the lone ranger
