George Jones - The Lone Ranger lyrics

rate me

Written by Billy Yates, Gerald Smith & John Northrup

I'm tired of sitting home, sick of being all alone

Thought I'd just go for a drive

I was headed downtown, when I did me a turnaround

When I saw the neon sign

Happy hour two for one, sounded like a lot of fun

So I stopped and went inside

The next thing that I knew, I was sittin' on a barstool

Having the time of my life

(Chorus:)

Well, I had more silver bullets last night

Than the Lone Ranger

I was shootin' 'em down like I didn't have a care

Ignoring all the danger

Bless my soul this morning I awoke

In the arms of a perfect stranger

I had more silver bullets last night than the Lone Ranger

Did I fail to mention it wasn't my intention

To stay out all night long

I was gonna have a few but one round led to two

Next thing I knew I was gone

Well here's where I draw a blank, the band was playin' Hank

She rode in to save the day

And all I remember were kisses sweet and tender

And hi yo silver away

(Repeat chorus)
