Tonart: E major
Verse 1
Well, our story starts in Texas,
where he's tempered by the heat
That skinny Alvin boy believes
his fastball can't be heat
A
So he brings it and he brings it and it
B
A
They're talkin' he's a wild man might
B
be the fastest in the West
E
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
A
He gets a World Series ring,
E
he stays modest, he don't boast
B
Now it's off to California,
A
B
where he'll make history on the coast
E
Verse 3
E
Nolan Ryan, he's a hero to us all
A
Nolan Ryan, he stands straight,
B
A
He don't mess around boys
B
E
He just throws a mean fast ball
Verse 4
E
Tom Morgan is the angel,
gets Nolan in second gear
Then he pitches four no- hitters
in about as many years
A
He's working for Gene Autry, they're calling
B
He throws one ball a hundred,
A
B
now he's the fastest in the West
E
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
A
As he throws his fifth no- hitter,
They're talkin' about he might be the best
E
Verse 6
A
B
he's the fastest in the West

Chorus
E
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
A
He throws a sixth no- hitter,
E
the Oakland A's just met Big Tex
Verse 8
B
Now they're gonna judge all the rest,
A
B
Boys, against the fastest in the West
E
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
E
right up against 300 wins

And on the very first ballot,
