"Little Red Ranger" lyrics

"Little Red Ranger"

Mexican blanket on the front seat
It's old to you but it's new to me
Pick me up at the Roosevelt
Windows down a two-door suit you well

Boy grows up in the 'Soo
Mom and Dad sure loved you
Hockey kid weekends at the rink
You love the Leafs even though they stink

Driving your little red Ranger
All over LA
Someday soon you're gonna call home to tell us
That you're gonna stay
Bird in a tree if you look away
You miss the chance to see it fly away

You never met a pair of jeans
That didn't fit you perfectly
Playing in a band and you sure can drink
Long brown hair your girl seems so sweet

But you'll always be the boy lacing his skates
You miss every shot that you never take
Big old smile you got a heart of gold
Channeling the spirit of Rick Danko's ghost

Driving your little red Ranger
All over LA
Someday soon you're gonna call home to tell us
That you're gonna stay
Bird in a tree if you look away
You miss the chance to see it fly away

Driving your little red Ranger
All over LA
Someday soon you're gonna call home to tell us
That you're gonna stay
Bird in a tree if you look away
You miss the chance to see it fly away
Live by the ocean have a beautiful life
The Leafs still suck at playoff time
