Jerry Jeff WalkerWell, our story starts in Texas, where he's tempered by the heatThat skinny Alvin boy believes his fastball can't be heatSo he brings it and he brings it and it passes every testThey're talkin' he's a wild man might be the fastest in the WestWell, he's drafted by New York, he's gonna pitch up there in SheaWith those amazing Mets, he'll help them take it all the wayHe gets a World Series ring, he stays modest, he don't boastNow it's off to California, where he'll make history on the coastChorus:Nolan Ryan, he's a hero to us allNolan Ryan, he stands straight, he stands tallHe don't mess around boysHe just throws a mean fast ballTom Morgan is the angel, gets Nolan in second gearThen he pitches four no-hitters in about as many yearsHe's working for Gene Autry, they're calling him the Ryan ExpressHe throws one ball a hundred, now he's the fastest in the WestBut after eight years on the left coast,He says he wants to come homeSo he signs on with the Astros,He€™ll bring magic to the domeAs he throws his fifth no-hitter,They€™re talkin' about he might be the bestIn Texas people know, he's the fastest in the WestChorusNow he's a Texas Ranger, but he don't tote no gunHe'll mow you down with the heater, you smell leather, hear it humHe throws a sixth no-hitter, the Oakland A's just met Big TexNow they're gonna judge all the rest,Boys, against the fastest in the WestNow let's count up some numbers, he's forty-three years of ageHe's got 5200 strike-outs, six no-hitters to dateThere's 57 shut-outs, right up against 300 winsAnd on the very first ballot, the Hall of Fame's gotta take him inChorus x2
