Lyrics:

2006Writer: Michael Martin MurpheyKit Laney was a cowboy down to the coreHe just wanted his ranch and he wanted no moreHe never ever dreamed he''d be starting all overWhen he scrapped up the dollars for the Diamond BarKit said his family had it rightBefore that ride, he was ready to fightAnd the rangers said to tighten the knooseAnd the Gila bulls were introducedKit Laney, Kit Laney, bring your cattle to townIf you don''t the wolves will bring you cattle downGive up your water and your land and cowsIf you don''t, we''re gonna take''em anyhowTo make a long story short and a short story longThe government did Kit Laney wrongClosed down the roads with a big blockadeThe governer would give Kit no aidStorms over the range land, not dust or rainStorms over the range land, jack, boots, and chainsStorms over the range land is a real range warAnd the only survivors are cowboys to the coreWell, the law dogs dragged Kit Laney awayKit''s horse brought down by the pepper sprayKit''s horse struck out with his flailing hoovesFor a horse will strick at government wolvesAnd they took Kit Laney to the federal judgeIn an orange suit, he heard their grudgeFor assault with deadly weapons, you are in chainsDeadly weapons were your spurs and reinsStorms over the range land, not dust or rainStorms over the range land, jack, boots, and chainsStorms over the range land in this range warThe only survivors are cowboys to the coreBut the people of the Gila and New MexicoRose up and said, ''Let Kit Laney go.''So the politicians all started comin'' aroundSaid, ''Can''t we calm this Laney thing down?''And the tree huggers call and offered him cashIf he''d sell his ranch, he''d feel no lashBut the kids said no, I stand no moreI am a cowboy to the coreNow, Kit Laney said, ''I''ll serve my timeThough I know I have done no crime.I''ve served my country and flag beforeNow, I''ll serve my time for this range war.''Storms over the range land, it aint dust or rainStorms over the range land, jack, boots, and chainsStorm over the range land, its a real range warThe only survivors are cowboys to the coreTo the core, to the core
