    I have to admit I am a little disappointed that this song isn't actually about two cowboys dueling with oversized cast iron pans 😂

    From what I understand, the Ranger was originally on his way to Verdigris Patina (a peaceful little town) to apprehend a different outlaw named Alexander Copperplate, only to find that the townsfolk had already remedied the problem.
    (This a a reference to “The Copper War”, (an old Cog is Dead song), in case you were wondering.)
