I can listen to big iron all day. I even have my own big iron, a repro of an old colt 45 peacemaker

 

[Runwildboys]

Every morning at the mine you could see him arrive
He stood 6'6" and weighed 245
Kinda broad at the shoulders
And narrow at the hip

 

[Cowpolk]

Every morning at the mine you could see him arrive
He stood 6'6" and weighed 245
Kinda broad at the shoulders
And narrow at the hip

Big John big bad John oops Jimmy Dean

And everybody knew you don't give no lip to Big John, Big Bad John.

 

[RodeoJake]

I can see you got your eye on this old cowboy
And I can tell you've never had one for your own
Or you've never been around one
Now you're thinkin' that you've found one
Well it might be kinda fun to take him home

Try Whatcha Gonna Do with a Cowboy Ledoux and Garth

Obviously I was joking, but I don't remember ever hearing that song. I do like Garth, so I may have heard it, but just don't recall.

 

[OmerV]

Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are cutting us down
Should have been done long ago
What if you knew her and
Found her dead on the ground?

Thinking about women and glasses of beer

Great song

 

[OmerV]

I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I got to stop wishin', got to go fishin'
Down to rock bottom again

Just means IDK, don't tell me unless nobody else gets it either.

I'll give it a little time. If nobody gets it I'll add some more of the song. I think even if you don't know the song it may be a giveaway on the artist if I provide more of the lyrics.

Okay, nobody got it, so I'll provide the full lyrics. I think the artist should be easy enough to guess.


Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters
Since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all

Watch the men who rode you
Switch from sails to steam
And in your belly you hold the treasure
That few have ever seen, most of them dreams
Most of them dreams

Yes, I am a pirate two hundred years too late
The cannons don't thunder there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

I've done a bit of smugglin'
I've run my share of grass
I made enough money to buy Miami
But I pissed it away so fast
Never meant to last, never meant to last

I have been drunk now for over two weeks
I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
But I've got to stop wishin'
Got to go fishin', I'm down to rock bottom again
Just a few friends, just a few friends

I go for women, lived with several awhile
And though I ran away, they'll come back one day
And still could manage a smile
It just takes awhile, just takes awhile

Mother, mother ocean, after all these years I've found
My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around
I feel like I've drowned
Gonna head uptown
