Verse 1 Belching fire on a motorcycle ride, barreling into town on a full moon night The Biker was a whiskey, card playing man always had a gun, in his hand. The Gambler was a no good, bastard thief, had a pair of aces always up his sleeve. Quick with his wits and faster with his guns, dealt in the Biker, playing five card stud. Chorus There was blood on the saddle, there was blood on the ground, another man dead, another man gone Verse 2 The last two standing at closing time, stakes were higher than a Georgia pine The Biker felt cheated, and the Gambler knew why. The Biker flipped that table, up in the air. Money, cards, and chips flew every where. The Biker drew fast, but not fast enough. The Gambler shot him twice before he shot once.

Chorus: Shotgun! Shotgun! yeah, shot them bastards down! got blood on my hands when the bodies hit the ground. Shotgun! Shotgun! yeah, another man gone, gotta skin outta here while I still got time to run. Verse 1 What do you do, when it all goes bad? You got nothing left, when you loose all you've had. Set you up to knock you down, you're under the gun, like a rat in the cage with no place left to run. Chorus Verse 2 What do you do when the sun goes down, you're all alone on the wrong side of town. Creep up on upon you, they're looking for a fight, turn that scatter gun, make their wrong, your right! Chorus

Verse 1 The year was 1980, when the mines laid me off the economy was in shambles and I couldn't find a job It was late September, the air was turning cold I became a trucker and headed out on the road Verse 2 It was after the New Year, I started drinking hard spent less of my time at home and more time at the bar I started spending my money on easy women just for fun to help make ends meet, I started running guns How can Hell be any worse? Verse 3 That's when my wife she told me, she's tired of being alone our one and only son was living in a broken home She cried as she told me, my drinking was to blame she found another man and my boy will never know my name How can Hell be any worse? Verse 4 I don't know what happened, how that gun got in my hand I just wanted to scare her, I think that was the plan something snapped inside of me, I started seeing red six bullets rang out later and my wife was laying dead How can Hell be any worse? Verse 5 That's when my boy he looked at me, his face was covered in blood like buzzards the cops circled, telling me to drop my gun they took me on down to Stillwater, threw me in a cell Now I'm rotting here in my man made Hell How can Hell be any worse?

about

IROB, as they are often called, rides into the future full throttle, guns a blazing, with no turning back. Recorded over several sessions between the fall of 2014 and the spring of 2015, at the renowned, Sparta Sound, by Rich Mattson, the Iron Range Outlaw Brigade have released their fourth album, Iron Range Outlaw Brigade. On this effort, they touch down on their country roots, while also show casing their love of punk rock mayhem. A western theme also intertwines through out the entire album with tales of gun fights, train robberies, high noon show downs, outlaws & bikers, high stake poker games, back alley knife fights, and they even included a spaghetti western style intro.
