Текст песни Billy Can't Read

His mama and daddy were very poor,
and they never went to school billy followed in their
footsteps like alot of children do.
He had to get a job to help pay the bills,
so his younger brother Ben might go to school and learn
to read and write and maybe he could teach all of them...
But billy can't read no billy can't read but he
gives 200% for the minium wages that he receives sometimes
he pretends like he can as he look laughs at the pictures
in the funny books but it really ain't funny you see
that billy can't read. Then the boss man came around
talked to billy one day.He said now billy you're the
hardest worker i've got and you surely deserve more
pay.But the boss at the top says i've got to give every
foreman a written test .Billy hung his head cause he
knew right then he would always have to settle for
less. but billy can't read no billy can't read but
he gives 200% of the minium wages he receives sometimesPaul Overstreet - Billy Can't Read - http://ru.motolyrics.com/paul-overstreet/billy-cant-read-lyrics.html

little ben never took for granted all his brother
billy's sacrifice.every night while the family slept
they would sit up late by that old lamp light sounding
out all the A's and the E's and the I's O's and U's.
now he is reading everything from the cereal box to
the bible three times though.

of his life will be diffrent you see because of the

act like he's laughing as he looks at the silly pictures
in the funny books they're as as they can benow that
billy can read yeah his life id much better you see
now that billy can read.
