Merle Haggard - Billy Overcame His Size lyrics

rate me

(Merle Haggard)

Billy never made the football team cause Billy's size was small

But Billy's brother was a mighty led and played lot of high school ball

And Billy's daddy never favored him he cared to the bigger guys

But later on in a bigger way Billy overcame his size.

The years flew by and Billy grew but he never got very big

We called him Shorty but never got mad he was always good for dig

But we paid no mind when he fell in line and left with the other guys

And the sergeant left that skinny frame but Billy overcame his size.

Billy overcame his size yeah Billy overcame his size

Later on in a bigger way Billy overcame his size.

Billy's brother made a football star and the biggest man in town

And the scholar ship that kept him home never seemed to bring him down

But on the other hand his brother Bill put pride in his daddy's eyes

When he died to save those other men Billy overcame his size.

Billy overcame his size yeah Billy overcame his size

When he died to save those other men Billy overcame his size...
