As I rode into that Texas town the western sun was going down there wasnt a solitary soul in sight
The only place open still was a roadside diner called Bob & Will's and as I walked in Will was turning out the lights

I said tell me friend can I get some gas perhaps a glass of sassafrass and if it wouldnt put you out how 'bout a bite to eat?
He said son I dont mean to be rude but the pumps locked up and so's the food your welcome to a can of sody there in the case by your feet

BIG TOM'S COMING TO TOWN! I AINT GOT TIME TO STICK AROUND LAST TIME HE TORE THE DANG PLACE DOWN HE'S PUT MORE THAN ONE IN THIS TEXAS GROUND BIG TOM'S BIG AS A TREE! HE AINT MERE MORTAL LIKE YOU & ME AND BUDDY BIG TOM'S COMING TO TOWN!

Just then the front door slams open wide and there stands this 8 ft giant he snatches the dang sody right out of my hand
He give a strong pull on the freezer door with a grunt something like a wild boar and starts gulping down anything that isnt canned

He stops for a second I figure he's full he charges across the room like a rodeo bull skids to a halt and drops to the floor in front of me
He puts his ear down and says it aint a tornado or an earthquake or the boys from Lorado Only one thing I know this big and mean

BIG TOM'S COMING TO TOWN! I DONT GUESS I'LL STICK AROUND LAST TIME HE TORE THE DANG PLACE DOWN THERE'S LOTS OF CATTLE NEVER WAS FOUND BIG TOM'S BIG AS A TREE! HE AINT MERE MORTAL LIKE YOU & ME AND LITTLE BUDDIES BIG TOM'S COMING TO TOWN!
