Of all the story songs there are, this one ranks as one of the best. What great lyrics! One of my favorite lines in this song is when he totally describes the gun fight by saying "There was 40 feet between them when they stopped to make their play. And the swiftness of the Ranger is still talked about today." In a million years, I couldn't have come up with something so perfect, so simple, so descriptive, so cool...They are still talking about the Ranger....He uses three main characters in the song...THe Ranger, Texas Red and the townspeople...They are such a part of this song...ANd they are still talking about it today. I think this is one of the best crafted songs EVER!

@bluegrassdude , LOVED your comment, and I totally agree; I couldn't say it better if given 1000 chances.
