they were both bigger

but younger .. strong as oxen

if I wasn't fast

they'd have kicked my ass

every which way from sunday

surviving three brothers

quite a task back then

they'd lived rough .. planned to hurt me

every chance they got

their faces held smirks

they'd always thought to win

I was much faster

holding tight headlocks

i'd hit their heads with my fist

until they'd give up
