Wasted Rock Ranger Lyrics

by Great White
This is the B-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
A 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)
