Rangeland Rebel Michael Martin Murphey

Ride rangeland rebel
Ride over the land
Ride to beat the devil
Ride for your own brand
Ride for your own brand

I'm a rangeland rebel
Riding for the lead
I ride to beat the devil
Beat the devil stampede
Beat the devil stampede

Now gather 'round cowboys
Saddle up a good horse
And ride for your land
Or it'll be a golf course
Before they tear down the mountains
And cover the trail
You won't find the bean counters
When the banks start to fail

Ride rangeland rebel
Ride to beat the devil

Dark riders are coming
By the rustlers moon
While the wannabes watch cowboy cartoons
As they're subdividing ranch to ranchette
Some humans are residing with a hangman of death
