Cover art for Bad, Bad Leroy Brown lyrics by Jim Croce

I agree most with BakedGoodies on this one. The man who took down Leroy Brown was only described as "jealous," not necessarily small, but presumably smaller than Leroy. "Even the mighty fall" is pretty accurate. I might describe it more as a story of not underestimating the power of emotion. Being big, mean, and respected was trumped by simple jealousy.
