Big Big Time

I've got only one ambition
To be a musician
So I told my boss I'm gone
People say it aint right
Cause I stay out all night
And I go to bed at dawn
My lady says baby
You must be crazy
And then she started to sob
I know you like picking
But it don't put chicken
On the table
Just get a job
Then she put me out
Of a nice warm house
Now I'm out on the street
I play all the time
For nickels and dimes
With these plastic bags on my feet

Chorus
Nashville won't you take me to the big big time
I'd like to swim in whiskey and women
Champagne and wine
Music row is gona show me a fine big time
I'll be a star yeah, if I can just get
Across that Tennessee line

Well I sleep in the park
Until it gets dark
Then I play down by the bars
When I wake up each day
I kneel and pray
That it don't rain on my guitar
I'm cold and I'm broke
And it aint no joke
But I'm still chasing my dream
If I freeze to death
Or run out of breath
At least I'll die happy
I'm living my life
With no money or wife
And I think it aint no sin
I stand on the corner
These bags on my feet
And I sing and I pick and I grin

Chorus

You may think its funny
But I'm saving my money
For a south bound Gray Hound ride
When I hit music row
Their gona know
That a big star has arrived

Chorus
