Verse 1
(D major) Jerry Jeff Walker
Well, our story starts in Texas,
where he's tempered by the heat
That skinny Alvin boy believes
his fastball can't be heat
So he (G major) brings it and he brings it and it
passes every test (D major)
They're talk (A major) in' he's a wild man (G major) might
be the fast (A major) est in the West
(D major)
Verse 2
Well, he's drafted by New York,
he's gonna pitch up there in Shea
With those amazing Mets,
he'll help them take it all the way
He (G major) gets a World Series ring,
he stays modest, he don't (D major) boast
Now it's (A major) off to California,
(G major) where he'll make (A major) history on the coast
(D major)

Verse 3
(G major) Chorus:
Nolan Ryan, he's a hero to us (D major) all
(G major) Nolan Ryan, he stands straight,
he stands (D major) tall
(A major) He don't mess around boys (G major)
He just throws (A major) a mean fast (D major) ball
Verse 4
Tom (D major) Morgan is the angel,
gets Nolan in second gear
Then he pitches four no- hitters
in about as many years
He's (G major) working for Gene Autry, they're calling
him the Ryan Ex (D major) press
(A major) He throws one ball a hundred,
(G major) now he's the fastest (A major) in the West
(D major)
Verse 5
But after eight years on the left coast,
He says he wants to come home
So he signs on with the Astros,
He'll bring magic to the dome
As he (G major) throws his fifth no- hitter,
They're talkin' about he might be the best
(D major)
Verse 6
(A major) In Texas people know,
(G major) he's the fastest (A major) in the West
Interlude 1
(D major) (G major)
(D major) (G major)
Verse 7
(D major) Chorus (A major) (G major) (A major)
(D major)
Now he's a Texas Ranger,
but he don't tote no gun
He'll mow you down with the heater,
you smell leather, hear it hum
He throws (G major) a sixth no- hitter,
the Oakland A's just met Big (D major) Tex
Verse 8
Now they're (A major) gonna judge all the rest,
Boys, (G major) against the fast (A major) est in the West
(D major)
Verse 9
Now let's count up some numbers,
he's forty- three years of age
He's got 5200 strike- outs,
six no- hitters to date
There's (G major) 57 shut- outs,
right up against 300 wins (D major)
(A major) And on the very first ballot,
(G major) the Hall of Fame's (A major) gotta take him in (D major) (F major) (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) (A major)
(G major) (A major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) (G major)
(D major) Chorus x2
Outro 1
