THE SMALLTIME
© Kurt Hagan & Rand Bishop

VERSE 1
Me and my band were passin' through Atlanta
I looked up a buddy, yeah Randy was the man
He played lead guitar when we hardly made a dime
The tour bus idlin?, was standin? outside ?n
Through the screen door I saw an old familiar smile
And a bear hug later we we?re laughin? ?bout old times
Yeah I still play, he said, nearly every day
?Cept when life gets in the way
CHORUS
Yeah I?m the all-time star of the smalltime
Bright lights never cross my mind
I can fit all of my fans in an old Dodge Caravan
Crowds and screams, that?s still your dream, but it ain?t mine
I made it big in the smalltime
VERSE 2
I was sittin? on the sofa on a patch of spilled soda
Kids yellin? woncha play a song daddy woncha
He said sorry ?bout the ruckus but you see I?m in demand
He grabbed his old Gibson from the corner of the kitchen
The kids started singin? to his lightnin? quick pickin?
While their mama was dancin? and dryin? a fryin? pan
Randy hey, I said, If you really wanna play
You can join up any day (He said no thanks?)
CHORUS
I?m the all-time star of the smalltime
Bright lights never cross my mind
I can fit all of my fans in an old Dodge Caravan
Crowds and screams, that?s still your dream, but it ain?t mine
I made it big in the smalltime
BRIDGE
I heard that big bus honkin?
I told him they could wait a bit
And Randy laughed as we kept talking
He said if you?da played your cards right
You coulda had all of this
TAG CHORUS
It?s good to see you live your dream, I?m livin? mine
Yeah I?m the all time star of the smalltime
I made it big in the smalltime
