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 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 the 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" "The big iron on his hip" In this 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 Arizona ranger, wouldn't be too long in town He came here to take an outlaw back alive or maybe dead And he said it didn't matter, 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 Well, the morning passed so quickly, it was time for them to meet It was twenty past eleven when they walked out in the street Folks were watchin' from the windows, everybody held their breath They knew this 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 is still talked about today Texas Red had not cleared leather 'fore a bullet fairly ripped And the ranger's aim was deadly, with the big iron on his hip The 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 Though he might have went on livin', but he made one fatal slip When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip Big iron, big iron When he tried to match the ranger with the big iron on his hip The big iron on his hip

It's summertime and you're in your red shorts Picking cigarette butts off of the floor Daddy told me just to stay away But you came back for more Falling up this staircase While you're strolling towards me Wearing truth with rolled up sleeves And after summer it's you I wish I heard it from you You sure have an awful way to say that I don't love you The truth doesn't care to be cruel or rude And I never wanted this And all he wanted was fists I think I'm too old for this I'm too fucking old for this And every word of it's true That after summer it's you

These boots of suede Will never fade If I picture the rain Going away I've tried to save Falling things from the humble ground I finally Tried to leave But you're holding the keys To everything I could want and need In my head and in the ground There's never those hard feelings Even now Years reaching for the ceiling Show me how You think you look so different You never change You never fade When you wear olive green And in a place like this How was I to replicate the way we felt on 5th With flashing lights And passing time Never holding your hand But with your arm in mine We formally crossed the streets to Julian's rhymes But Julian spoke the truth It was just a phase with you But Julian spoke the truth It was just a phase with you There's never those hard feelings Even now Years reaching for the ceiling Show me how You think you look so different You never change You never fade When you wear olive green

I've already soothed the burns From the radiation Coming from the rage you felt When I wished you well And said I don't want complications I didn't mean it In a bad way I just figured That I'd always Be honest You said to be honest I'm always honest But now I know You never are I didn't think that you'd go far with your Racist boyfriend and his fancy car But somehow you did It's like A stolen coat put in a lost and found or Feeling the need to turn around When the image of your face is already burned In my head It doesn't change a thing you did I see right through You're so predicable now I know the truth I never really had a doubt You're not so screwed From what I see it's all laid out But you look so blue For someone that's got it made I didn't think that it would come to that Where I was always wrong and we were always mad I guess I'll claim the fault though Because I see you're busy making real good choices Claiming you care about your best friend's voice When the only thing you care about is When you'll go to sleep And yet you say you still have dreams I see right through You're so predicable now I know the truth I never really had a doubt You're not so screwed From what I see it's all laid out But you look so blue For someone that's got it made You've totally got it made I see right through You're so predicable now I know the truth I never really had a doubt You're not so screwed From what I see it's all laid out But you look so blue For someone that's got it made You've totally got it made

You couldn't leave the house even if you wanted to They tried to give a damn but you could never get a clue So much baggage but you never let them lend a hand Instead you Drank away and started tripping on your ceiling fan You used to hate "I told you so's" But you seem to take them well now And I can tell It's over You're sober No longer the pictures you took in October Reminders of all nighters And not the kind with used up lighters You're a fighter And you're tired So your skin made the perfect bed For the flower That you planted When you told yourself now's not the time to be dead It's over You're sober No longer the pictures you took in October Reminders of all nighters And not the kind with used up lighters You're a fighter And you're tired So your skin made the perfect bed For the flower That you planted When you told yourself now's not the time to be dead

So this is it The end of you and me and everything in between But their expectations were always bound to bleed out Your air was sinless and you wouldn't let me breathe with you You couldn't see this through It was fleshed out Only to be flushed down Along with the rest of me There's no chance With your cold hands Giving unwanted sympathy A lighter will burn a bridge fine The flames won't swallow the sky I'm glad they are peaceful tonight I can see you from my side But why would I want that I close the shades behind my back To hide away the sunlight's face That shows me all the time I've wasted Aimlessly numbing myself You reaching out to me is hell Cause nothing you could say or do will bring him home Leave me alone
