| Down at the end of the driveway you hear old Ranger bark
|
| Barking at that gang of cars going riding in the dark
|
| Ranger oh Ranger how far can you go before old Gary tracks you down and brings
|
| you back once more?
|
| Ranger’s in the chickens or chasing the neighbor cat
|
| Or rolling in the field mud as happy as he can get
|
| Ranger oh Ranger will you ever get away? |
| Old Gary’ll track you down and bring
|
| you back again
|
| Gary tracks him with his pickup and a fancy cell phone
|
| To find old Ranger on another farm where he sure ain’t alone
|
| Ranger oh Ranger how far can you go before old Gary tracks you down and brings
|
| you back once more?
|
| He’s running because no one at home want’s to be part of his pack
|
| Gary only owns him, he’s never had Ranger’s back
|
| Ranger oh Ranger will you ever get away? |
| Old Gary’ll track you down and bring
|
| you back again
|
| He’ll run until he’s too old, or they make a stronger fence
|
| Or he’ll die a free dog on a county road, in a fatal accident
|
| Ranger oh Ranger how far can you go before old Gary tracks you down and brings
|
| you back once more?
|
| And where will your home be, if you ever escape his grasp?
|
| Trampin' through this wide old world, wherever your free heart’s at |
