Make the big time

'Cause you're all part of the sixteens Suzie and Davey got to make the big time Maybe they can put it all together

There′s somethin' strange about it I lived there ′bout a year and I never once felt at home I thought I'd make the big time I learned a lot of lessons awfully quick

I hope and pray he don't blow it 'cause We've been around a long time Just have to try, to try, to make the big time

I hitch-hiked just to meet That man that you call Daddy And when you make the big time And you ain't got no worries

Would you shake his hand for me? And tell old Burt, I've seen all his movies Well, I hope you make the big time I hope your dreams come true

I've been busy playin' rhythm and learnin' lead guitar Had to stay and make a living, had no time to be a star Oh, I'll never make the big time and I'll never be no wheel Damn it, I've booked seven nights a week in this bar in Bakersfield

Why not bigger dreams? Why not dream your way to big time? Maybe you can make the big time Why not dream?

Everyone's doing something Running without reaching their destination,to make the big time Everyone's getting in trouble

Losing it all on these sick, little games If I play my cards right I could make the big time

Music every night Hung-over everyday I was gonna make the big time I could feel it in my fingers when I'd play

'Cause you're all part of the sixteens Suzie and Davey got to make the big time Maybe they can put it all together
