F                  A#     F
I'm leaving this place behind
F                           A#     F
And I'm heading out on the road tonight
F               A#      F
I'm off for the hinterlands
F                             A#    F
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 plan

Chorus:
C
I know she's gonna be my wife
       Dm
Gonna fall in love
                             F A# F F A# F
I'm gonna live my life with her
      C
You know I bet he's not so tough
        Dm
Ain't afraid of him cause I'm a fool for love

I've come forth 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 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

Chorus:
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 meet them eventually
No I'm not afraid to die
Just mad I left that Jim alive

Chorus:
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
Let the sorry tale of my life go by
I drift into the great unknown
I really don't know where I'm going
