Confusing song titles that weren't odd just to be odd

1. "From Boulder to Birmingham"
2. "Big Iron"
3. "Iron Fire Shootin' Pony"

1. I knew there was a Boulder, Colo., but I never thought of it in the context of the song's title.
2. I should have guessed by all the cowboy songs Marty Robbins had done previously that "Big Iron" was a pistol.
3. I had to read the liner notes on the vinyl album to know that was the name of the singer's big rig truck.
