Young William left his life inside a world nobody knew
Darkness all around him, wasn't smart enough for school
Kids call him names, what a crying shame
They didn't understand
But once he's got that guitar in his hands
They called him GOAT
Greatest of all time
Blind Billy with his fingers flying
You could almost close your eyes and smell the smoke
They called him GOAT
I drove down the dirt roads, out pass the county line
To see that child of God, born deaf, dumb and blind
Sitting on that back porch in a field tobacco green
Behold a miracle, the best I have ever seen
They called him GOAT
Greatest of all time
Blind Billy with his fingers flying
You could almost close your eyes and smell the smoke
They called him GOAT
He had peace in his own mind
With no stage and no spotlight
The greatest picker the world would never know
They called him GOAT
They called him GOAT
Greatest of all time
Greatest of all time
