Lyrics
Big Time: Music and Lyrics by Mary Ott Copyright 2001
Cruisin? with the top down on the boulevard,
Got my ?magination and my mastercard.
Watchin? pretty people and the golden lights,
Hopin? this maybe my magic night.
Well, lookin? like thunder and actin? like rain.
Don?t stand in front of this movin? train.
Chorus:
Big Time
Lookin? for a Big Time.
Ya? gotta walk a fine line,
When you?re lookin? for a Big Time.
Well, keep away from that lightenin? vine,
Big Time.
Verse:
I ain?t misbehavin? there?s no need to be rude.
But I got this aggitation percolatin? and brewed.
You can ply me with liquor or give me your ring,
But I ain?t sayin? nothin? ?cause I got this thing.
Don?t have much money, so I gotta believe.
But I feel this burnin? achin? yearnin? down to my knees.
Big Time.
Bridge:
Cross over the valley, come down from the hill.
Come out from the waysides and give me a thrill.
Go ask Aunt Sally what happened to Bea,
She left one mornin? lookin? just like me
Big Time.
