Bareknuckle Bill
He was born
Before the rain could crawl
Down the meadows that knew no Fall
He truly had it all
Bareknuckle Bill
He learned
To read before his friends
Quoted Shakespeare on demand
Silk always covered his hand
Bareknuckle Bill
And now he's one beer shy of being blind again
To all the things that could have been
Bareknuckle Bill
Love
Was arranged for him at first
Had more money than he could burn
He never worked a day
Bareknuckle Bill
But the day his father died he realized
That this tedious life had him shackled on the line
Told his friends "I might just be moving on"
So went on chasing freedom in a jug
So he drank
And he drank
He stopped to read and he drank
You could even say he drank his soul away
And now he's one beer shy of being blind again
To all the things that could have been
Bareknuckle Bill
He was
The smartest guy around
Once said "some flowers bloom
While others drown"
Bareknuckle Bill
Now
You can find him at minstrel shows
Or at your local rodeo
He dances for cash
Bareknuckle Bill
Where he's one beer shy of being blind again
To all the things that could have been
Bareknuckle Bill
Before the rain could crawl
Down the meadows that knew no Fall
He truly had it all
Bareknuckle Bill
He learned
To read before his friends
Quoted Shakespeare on demand
Silk always covered his hand
Bareknuckle Bill
And now he's one beer shy of being blind again
To all the things that could have been
Bareknuckle Bill
Love
Was arranged for him at first
Had more money than he could burn
He never worked a day
Bareknuckle Bill
But the day his father died he realized
That this tedious life had him shackled on the line
Told his friends "I might just be moving on"
So went on chasing freedom in a jug
So he drank
And he drank
He stopped to read and he drank
You could even say he drank his soul away
And now he's one beer shy of being blind again
To all the things that could have been
Bareknuckle Bill
He was
The smartest guy around
Once said "some flowers bloom
While others drown"
Bareknuckle Bill
Now
You can find him at minstrel shows
Or at your local rodeo
He dances for cash
Bareknuckle Bill
Where he's one beer shy of being blind again
To all the things that could have been
Bareknuckle Bill
