From the giant Texas land

He put the Chamber of Commerce on a limb

And the government did no less

Stand tall, Billie Sol, we don't know you at all

We have got to face elections in the fall
I remember when
Bill had influential friends
He celebrated Christmas every day
He filled texas banks with his fertilizer tanks
Influential friends don't die they only fade away
Stand tall, Billie Sol, we don't know you at all
We've taken down your pictures from the wall
Well, we don't want to handle an agriculture scandal
We have got to face elections in the fall
