    • Verse 1
    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 
    brings 
    it 
    and he 
    brings 
    it 
    and it 

    passes 
    every 
    test 

    They're talk
    in' he's 
    a 
    wild 
    man 
    might 

    be 
    the fast
    est 
    in 
    the West 

    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 
    gets 
    a World 
    Series 
    ring, 

    he stays 
    modest, 
    he don't 
    boast 

    Now 
    it's 
    off 
    to California, 

    where 
    he'll make 
    history 
    on 
    the coast 


    Verse 3
    Chorus: 

    Nolan 
    Ryan, 
    he's 
    a 
    hero 
    to 
    us 
    all 

    Nolan 
    Ryan, 
    he 
    stands 
    straight, 

    he 
    stands 
    tall 

    He don't 
    mess 
    around 
    boys 

    He just 
    throws 
    a mean 
    fast 
    ball 

    Verse 4
    Tom 
    Morgan 
    is 
    the angel, 

    gets 
    Nolan 
    in 
    second 
    gear 

    Then he 
    pitches 
    four 
    no- 
    hitters 

    in about 
    as many 
    years 

    He's 
    work
    ing 
    for 
    Gene 
    Autry, they're calling 

    him 
    the Ryan 
    Ex
    press 

    He throws 
    one 
    ball 
    a hundred, 

    now 
    he's 
    the fastest 
    in 
    the West 

    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 
    throws 
    his 
    fifth 
    no- 
    hitter, 


    They're talkin' 
    about 
    he 
    might 
    be 
    the best 

    Verse 6

    In 
    Texas 
    people 
    know, 

    he's 
    the fastest 
    in 
    the West 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 7
    Chorus 


    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 
    a sixth 
    no- 
    hitter, 

    the Oakland 
    A's 
    just 
    met 
    Big 
    Tex 

    Verse 8
    Now they're 
    gonna 
    judge 
    all 
    the rest, 

    Boys, 
    against 
    the fast
    est 
    in 
    the West 

    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 
    57 shut- 
    outs, 

    right 
    up 
    against 
    300 wins 

    And on the 
    very 
    first 
    ballot, 

    the Hall 
    of 
    Fame's 
    gotta 
    take 
    him in 





    Chorus x2

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
