I’m leaving this place behind, and I’m heading out on the road tonight I’m off for the hinterlands, way up north where the tall trees stand Before I commence my ride, I´m asking Lily to be my bride
I know there´s another man but he ain´t gonna delay my plans
I know she´s gonna be my wife Gonna fall in love, I´m gonna live my life with her You know, I bet he´s not so tough Ain´t afraid of him, cause I´m a fool for love
I come for to find Big Jim, well, here I am and I guess you’re him I see how you got your name, you´re tall as hell and broad as a train They say you’re a hard worn man The baddest guy in the whole wide land Well, I´m not afraid to fight, let´s step outside and I´ll show you why
I´m hummin´ like a revved up truck Nevermind the odds I´m gonna try my luck with her Just tell me when you´ve had enough I´m dangerous cause I´m a fool for love
You know, you don´t hit half bad Oh but I´m gonna lay you to ground tonight Just wait until I catch my breath Gonna send you on to an early death
I lie in the drifting snow, bleeding out as it covers me, oh If spring comes before I’m found, just throw my bones in a hole in the ground I lost friends along my way, I knew I’d meet them eventually No, I’m not afraid to die, I’m just mad I left Big Jim alive
I know I should have never looked back But you ain’t gonna win a woman’s heart like that I never should have called his bluff I was born to lose cause I’m a fool for love
I stare into the endless sky And the sorry tale of my life goes by I drift into the great unknown I really don’t know where I’m goin´
