Daddy's Riding the Range - The Stranglers

Oh my child

Walk in your prairie dreams

Shining dawn

Whispers of worlds you’ll see

Now it’s dusk

Darkness has killed the fire

I must ride

She calls me into my night

And you’re leaving me cold as ice (times 2)

Daddy’s riding the range

In the toy cowboy suit

That his mother bought for him

Leaving, he won’t stop loving you

Now that he’s riding

The trail of the lone star

When you cry

I’ll send the sun down to you

When you’re lost

I’ll spin the world round for you
