“Big enough” is the 5th track on Kirin J Callinan’s second solo album Bravado.
In this track Kirin uses the wild west as a metaphor for the world.
The song begins with two cowboys (played by Kirin and Alex Cameron) deciding to set aside their differences and come together as friends. Later Kirin c...
[Verse 1: Alex Cameron]
I've lived in lonely cities
I've crossed deserts on camel back
And I've filled the halls of folklore with things I'd rather we forget
I could sweep you off the street so saying this is goddamn tough
But this town might be big enough...
[Verse 2: Kirin J Callinan]
See, I reckon what you're saying
But this dog's run every course
I've roamed without my boots on
I've raced without my horse
And then I ate my horse's meat straight from my horse's bones
'Cause this dog
Must roam alone
[Verse 3: Alex Cameron, Kirin J Callinan, Both]
You could shoot me in the mountains
In the cold fat rain
We could do it in the countryside
As we walk the plain
It wouldn't give us any closure
All cowboys need to trust
That this town might be big enough
For both of us
[Chorus: Jimmy Barnes]
Aaah
Aaah
Aaah
Aaah
Aaaaaaaaaaah
Aaa
Aaah
[Verse 4: Kirin J Callinan with Alex Cameron]
Well, I'd be a doggamn liar
If I said this ain't a lonely town
And what I wouldn't give
To have a friend around
We could trade in all our silver bullets
And buy a patch of dust
This town might just be big enough
For all of us
[Chorus: Jimmy Barnes]
Aah
Aah
[Outro: Alex Cameron & Kirin J. Callinan, Jimmy Barnes]
Everybody!
This town!
This world!
Are you big enough?
From Australia (AAAH) to America
And Russia and China
All of Asia
Let me out
Europe and Great Britain
Oh Canada
In Croatia and Serbia
Kenya get it India
It's serious in Syria
Believe in us Bolivia
We're Ghana be big enough
For Africa, South Africa
South Korea, North Korea
Algeria, Nigeria
Antarctica, Around the Equator
Cuba, Indonesia
Jamaica, we'll take ya
To Florida and catch you later
I'll catch you later
Christianity, Islam, Judaism
Let me out
[Jimmy Barnes]

Many people have questioned the legitimacy of Bravado and asked whether it’s all just a big joke. I think Kirin best addresses this criticism in this interview at around 3:12 -
I think it’s funny if that’s what you’re getting at, I think the record’s deeply funny. Just ‘cause something’s funny does...
On his Instagram Kirin described the song as:
an all inclusive message of love & non-violence
In this interview with Poncho Kirin talked about the creation of the track:
It blows my mind that Jimmy’s on the record, I sent him the music, I explained what I was thinking, I had this vision of hi...
