Lyrics:

I'm leaving this place behind
?And I'm heading out on the road tonight
?I'm off for the hinterlands
?Way up north to have taught you to 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've come far to find Big Jim
?Well here I am and I guess you him
?I see how you got your name
?You're tall as hell and broad as a train
?They say you a hard-born man
?And 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 humming like a revved up truck
?Never mind 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
?For my love I will lay in the grave tonight
?Just wait until I catch my breath
??Gonna send you off to an early death
?
?I lie in the drifting snow
?Bleeding out as it covers me up
?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 need them eventually
?No I'm not afraid to die
?Just mad I left Big Jim alive
?
?I know I should've never looked back
?But you ain't gonna win a woman's heart like that
?I never should've called his bluff
?I was born to lose cause I'm a fool for love
?
?I stare into the endless sky
?And the sordid tale of my life goes by
?I drift into the great unknown
?I really don't know where I'm going
?
I stare into the endless sky
And the sordid tale of my life goes by
I drift into the great unknown
I really don't know where I'm going
