The Ballad of Jeff Kidder: Arizona Ranger's Last Ride | Outlaw Country Western Song
LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
In the Dakota wind, he drew his first cry,
Born of a line where the brave dared to die.
His uncle fell where Custer’s men stood,
And Jeff grew up with vengeance in his blood.
From Vermillion’s plains to the desert’s red glare,
He rode out west with a Colt and a prayer.
Arizona called with a Ranger’s bold vow,
Where the law rode swift, and death rode close now.

[Chorus]
Oh Jeff Kidder, ride through the storm,
A badge on your chest, your spirit worn.
The border was rough, but your aim held true,
You fought for the right as the shadows grew.
Now your name rides the wind through the canyons wide,
A Ranger who lived, and a hero who died.

[Verse 2]
He chased the rustlers through Sonoran dust,
O’er smuggler’s trails where no man could trust.
A quickdraw king with a quiet, steady grace,
No outlaw’s draw could match his pace.
He rode with Sparks and Billy Old,
In campfire tales and legends told.
His heart still ached for a love left behind,
Her shadow danced in the corners of his mind.

[Chorus]
Oh Jeff Kidder, ride through the storm,
A badge on your chest, your spirit worn.
The border was rough, but your heart stayed true,
You stood for the right as the darkness grew.
Now your name rides the wind through the canyons wide,
A Ranger who lived, and a hero who died.

[Bridge]
In a cantina’s glow down in old Naco’s strife,
The bullets sang sharp, stealing breath, stealing life.
Wounded and lone, he clawed through the sand,
The desert’s cruel hush cradled his fading hand.

They beat him down with a coward’s cruel spite,
Dragged fifty yards through that lawless night.
A pistol cracked his skull with a merciless blow,
As the West’s fading star sank in blood’s final glow.

Locked in a cell, no doctor to mend,
He faced the dark with no friend to send.
Yet he clung to the dawn with a Ranger’s last fight,
‘Til the desert wind bore his soul to the light.

[Final Chorus]
Oh Jeff Kidder, ride through the storm,
A badge on your chest, your spirit worn.
The border was rough, but your soul burned true,
You stood for the right ‘til the skies tore through.
Now your name rides high where the brave reside,
A Ranger who lived… and a hero who died.

[Outro]
So raise a glass ‘neath the desert’s wide sky,
To the man who stood tall and dared to try.
In campfire tales, his legend still grows,
A hero’s heart in the sunset’s red glow.
Through the sagebrush and stars, his story won’t fade,
Jeff Kidder’s name on the winds of the trade.
