歌词
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've come far 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
You say you're a hard-worn man
Oh, 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
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
But I'm gonna lay you in the ground 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 over
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 sorry tale of my life goes by
I drift into the great unknown
And I really don't know where I'm going
I stare into the endless sky
And the sorry tale of my life goes by
I drift into the great unknown
And I really don't know where I'm going
