Wasted Rock Ranger
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)
