The Ballad of Billy Carter
I've been going easy on you-all so far. Now it is time we get stuck in the deep stuff. As the Billy World Turns. Your stern must be made of stiff stuff to plow into these waters. It's the Ballad of Billy Carter!
The pain in Plains is dulled by the Grain.
Peanuts...oh oh oh oh, Peanuts. Doodle doodle doo!
Yeah, that'd be FRED SMERDLEY & THE DIXIE PIXIES.

Eatin' Peanuts & Drinkin' Billy Beer
The Jimmy Carter Time! train rolls on...
When we talk about artists who have never gotten their due, we usually mean artists whose releases failed to capture an audience. On this record, Bobby Mann did not get his due from the outset, as his name is not even on the cover of the record.
Harkus 'Pig' Robbins and Hank Williams produced...not that Hank Williams.
In this song, Jimmy and Billy Carter serve as mere signposts to the narrator's divorce, letting us know that it must have occurred some time in the late 70s. The Carter presidency provides a rare opportunity for a sad-sack character to drown his sorrows country-style, while still maintaining a presidential flair.
