jesse daniel – champion lyrics
[verse 1]
he was lean and full of quiet rage
and built just like a wall
he had circles under his eyes
and he stood at six feet tall
he rode an old bicycle
that he’d stole from off the rack
the kinda man who when takes your mule
you don’t ask for it back
[verse 2]
his hands were big as baseball gloves
and his fists were solid rock
he was born out in modesto
from here on okie stock
he moved here with his mama
but she left him long ago
and he looks just like his daddy
who he never got to know
[chorus]
it’s best to fear him
’cause he only has his name
they call him champion
’cause he never lost a game
and out in that old poke town
he’s the toughest of them all
never knew a man to challenge him
that didn’t take the fall
[verse 3]
he had a leather wallet
that he’d had since he was nine
his mother said it was his dad’s
but he knew that was a lie
his mama had so many men
after he went away
it was likely one of theirs
but champion kept it anyway
[verse 4]
inside it was a photograph
full of holes and marks
of him and his mama
on the swingset at the park
and on the back, it read
your mom and daddy’s pride and joy
on lonely nights, he’ll pull it out
and wish he was a boy
[chorus]
it’s best to fear him
’cause he only has his name
they call him champion
’cause he never lost a game
and out in that old poke town
he’s the toughest of them all
never knew a man to challenge him
that didn’t take the fall
[instrumental bridge]
[verse 5]
two a.m. on august first
a birthday all alone
lights, they shone like candles
on the window by the phone
and at the door, the sheriff’s there
with a warrant to arrest
the man that they called champion
can put his case to rest
[verse 6]
“so, come out with your hands up
and you’ll leave this place alive”
champion weren’t afraid to k!ll a man
and he weren’t afraid to die
and he’d leave this world a violent way
just like his father did
but you can’t really blame him
oh, that poor old okie kid
[chorus]
it’s best to fear him
’cause he only has his name
they call him champion
’cause he never lost a game
and out in that old poke town
he’s the toughest of them all
never knew a man to challenge him
that didn’t take the fall
[outro]
never knew a man to challenge him
that didn’t take the fall
