Big Time

(porter howell/tim nichols)

Dick and jane don't talk anymore, jane lays awake
Wishin' it could be like it was before
Finally one night, she got tough
Dick came home, and she was packin' her stuff

See jane run, see dick cry
He's standin' in the street with his hands in the air
Goin' why jane, why
She don't look back, she's seen enough
Close the book, the story's done, see jane run

Dick's tore up, deep down inside
Jane feels good, there ain't a tear in her pretty blue eyes
Red taillights, fade out of sight
Spot's in the back, he's just along for the ride

See jane run, see dick cry
He's standin' in the street with his hands in the air
Goin' why jane, why
She don't look back, she's seen enough
Close the book, the story's done, see jane run

See jane run, see dick cry
He's standin' in the street with his hands in the air
Goin' why jane, why
She don't look back, she's seen enough
Close the book, the story's done, see jane run

Yeah, close the book, the story's done
See jane run, oh see jane run, see jane run

I can't see you
But i can feel
Like a scar that
Just won't heal
Blue-eyed gypsy
You're still with me

Everywhere i go
Lonely
Won't leave me alone
You're everywhere i go
Lonely
Won't leave me alone

Another highway
One more town
I tried to lose you
But you tracked me down
Like the moonlight
On a dark night

You're down every winding road
Lonely
Won't leave me alone
Down every winding road
Lonely
Won't leave me alone


I know you told me
Our love's dead and gone
But here in my heart
It lives on
And on

You're every sad song
All night long
On my radio

Lonely
Won't leave me alone
Lonely
Won't leave me alone
Lonely
Won't leave me alone
I'm so lonely
Won't leave me alone
I'm so lonely

Get ready baby, we're going uptown
It's friday night, we're gonna get down
I thought you might like this brand new baby-blue dress
I figured out about a quarter 'til ten
We'll be partied out and headin' in
You and me alone darlin' doing what we do best

Big time, we're gonna have one
Big time, we're gonna grab some
Lovin' huggin' cuddlin' upin'
Rendezvous
'cuz i'm in love with you
Big time

A little music, a sip of champagne
By candlelight, just doin' our thing
Let the crowd wonder what in the world happened to us
Well they can boogie woogie all night long
Let 'em dance 'til the cows come home
For what we want this old honky tonk ain't enough

Big time, we're gonna have one
Big time, we're gonna grab some
Lovin' huggin' cuddlin' upin'
Rendezvous
'cuz i'm in love with you
Big time

Girl i'm talkin' about a....

Big time, we're gonna have one
Big time, we're gonna grab some
Lovin' huggin' cuddlin' upin'
Rendezvous
'cuz i'm in love with you
Big time

Yeah i'm in love with you
Big time
Big time
Big time
I'm talkin' large

I can't take back the things i said
To you in the past
Or make you forget the reasons why
We didn't last

I'm haunted by what might have been
Still i can't change who i was back then

But if i could hold you now you'd see
I've turned myself around and now
I'm someone you'd be proud to love
I'd do all the right things, make promises
That i'd keep
It'd hurt too much to let you down
And in my arms there'd be no room for doubt
If i could hold you now

It's funny how this empty room
Makes it all too clear
When i let you leave
A part of me just disappeared

But if i'd known then what i've come to know
There's no way i could have let you go

But if i could hold you now you'd see
I've turned myself around and now
I'm someone you'd be proud to love
I'd do all the right things, make promises
That i'd keep
It'd hurt too much to let you down
And in my arms there'd be no room for doubt
If i could hold you now

But if i'd known then what i've come to know
There's no way i could have let you go

But if i could hold you now you'd see
I've turned myself around and now
I'm someone you'd be proud to love
I'd do all the right things, make promises
That i'd keep
It'd hurt too much to let you down
And in my arms there'd be no room for doubt
If i could hold you now

If i could hold you now
If i could hold you now

Last night you were here again, third time this week
You always slip in when i'm asleep
I thought those old feelings would be long gone by now
Why in the world do you bother to come back around

You're out of my arms
You're out of my life
Out of every thought
That i let cross my mind
You're out of my hopes
That it might be you every time the telephone rings
But will i ever get you out of my dreams

There we were making wishes on evening stars
Promises sealed with kisses straight from our hearts
But then i woke up to reality again
Even the sweetest dreams come to an end

You're out of my arms
You're out of my life
Out of every thought
That i let cross my mind
You're out of my hopes
That it might be you every time the telephone rings
But will i ever get you out of my dreams

But will i ever get you out of my dreams

I'm not sure what i did just yet
But something kicked in on the night we met
Look's like her hearts out of control
What she's gonna do next, i don't know
She's already dreaming about a house on the hill
How does she think we're gonna pay those bills
When all i can afford is a two room shack
I took her to the moon and i can't bring her back

Now where did my fishing magazines go
Everywhere i look there's another cosmo
Flowers in the kitchen and a new bedspread
Now you tell me, was it something i said
Even old blue's taking it rough
She clipped his nails and powdered him up
Her mind's running on a one way track
I took her to the moon and i can't bring her back

Where's that girl that i used to know
The one who said we'd better take it slow
What on earth do i do now
To put her feet back on the ground

She goes to the mall but she never says why
She brings home things that a man won't buy
I've already told her enough's enough
Now what are we gonna do with all this stuff
She bought a bunch of soap that she won't let me use
A toilet seat cover and hand towels too
The kind you don't touch, just leave 'em on the rack
I took her to the moon and i can't bring her back

Where's that girl that i used to know
The one who said we'd better take it slow
What on earth do i do now
To put her feet back on the ground

She's already dreaming about a house on the hill
Now how does she think we're gonna pay those bills
When all i can afford is a two room shack
I took her to the moon and i can't bring her back
Lord, i took her to the moon and i can't bring her back
