Fat Boy - Blaze Foley

Well used to be heavy but now I’m thin

Belly hung over, now my chest caves in

Eyes are glassy and my britches fit me right

My feet are still long and my hair is too

You don’t have to move over 'cause I can get through

I won’t be a fat boy any more

Well I couldn’t play ball 'cause I couldn’t run fast

Never got a date 'cause I never got asked

Couldn’t jump high or walk around too long

Couldn’t talk too much about the women I had

Friends talked about them made me feel real bad

I won’t be a fat boy any more

Girls would tell me that my eyes was blue

Sometimes I told 'em that theirs was too

Said I was funny and sweeter than mama’s pie

For many long years I hardly ever got laid

Now I’m (unintelligible) 'cause my dues have been paid

I won’t be a fat boy any more

Well I used to go drinking and look for my bride

Walk into parties and the girls would hide

They didn’t want no fat boys in they rooms

They always used to tell me we could be good friends

You can sleep on the pallet when the party ends

I won’t be a fat boy any more

Now I got a little woman, had a kiss each day

She likes my looks and some of my ways

Glad I ain’t a fat boy any more

Her hair’s real curly and her eyes real brown

She rubs my belly when I’m laying down

I won’t be a fat boy any more

Yeah, I used to be heavy but now I’m thin

Belly hung over, now my chest caves in

Eyes are glassy and my britches fit me right

My feet are still long and my hair is too

You don’t have to move over 'cause I can get through

I won’t be a fat boy any more

I won’t be a fat boy any more
