Mike Ness - Big Iron Lyrics

Send "Big Iron" ringtone to your cell

To the town of agua fria rode a stranger one fine day

Hardly spoke to folks around him didn't have too much to say

No one dared to ask his business no one dared to make a slip

For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip

It was early in the morning when he rode into town

He came riding from the south side slowly lookin' all around

"he's an outlaw loose and runnin'" came a whisper from each lip

"and he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip"

In the town there lived an outlaw by the name of texas red

Many men had tried to take him and that many men were dead

He was vicious and a killer though a youth of twenty four

And the notches on his pistol numbered one and nineteen more

One and nineteen more

Now the stranger started talkin' made it plain to folks around

Was an arizonian ranger wouldn't be too long in town

He came there to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead

And he said it didn't matter that he was after texas red

After texas red

Wasn't long before this story was relayed to texas red

But the outlaw didn't worry men that tried before were dead

Twenty men had tried to take him twenty men had made a slip

Twenty one would be the ranger with the big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip

The morning past so quickly and it was time for them to meet

It was twenty past eleven when they walked out on the street

Folks were watchin' from their windows every body held their breath

For they knew that handsome ranger was about to meet his death

About to meet his death

There was forty feet between them when they stopped to make their play

And the swiftness of the ranger still talked about today

Texas red had not cleared leather when a bullet fairly ripped

And the ranger's aim was deadly with the big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip

It was over in a moment and the folks had gathered 'round

There before them lay the body of the outlaw on the ground

Oh he might have gone on livin' but he made one final slip

When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip

Big iron big iron

He tried to match the ranger

With the big iron on his hip

Big iron on his hip
