Big Timer

Nobody told you you were gonna go far

Maybe make a living, get a house with a yard

A big timer, you're a big timer

Wouldn't you know

You talk it up, get 'em up off their knees

then cut 'em down to size, saying "Ain't nothing free"

A Big timer, you're a big timer

Wouldn't you know

Now tell 'em what you do

Keep your head up

Gonna get it tonight

Kick it over and over

Well you're on, on your own song

Head up

Gonna get myself rich

Maybe find a new girl

What else can you do

You come around, we've got little to say

Nothing seems to matter but a year and a day

Here's a dimer, you no account grimer

Wouldn't I know

I bet my money, tell me who's gonna win

When they drop you in the ocean, you 'gon learn how to swim

A big timer, you're a big timer

And everyone knows

Now tell 'em what you do

Keep your head up

Gonna get it tonight

Kick it over and over

Well you're on, on your own song

Head up

Gonna get myself rich

Maybe find a new girl

What else can you do

I'll see you round if we're older someday

Then, we'll walk on by

Give a nod and a wave

A big climber

With the old timers

Alone at the bar

Keep your head up

Gonna get it tonight

Kick it over and over

Well you're on, on your own song

Head up

Gonna get myself rich

Maybe find a new girl

It's like flipping a switch oh

Head up

It's gonna happen tonight

See your name in some lights

Well, oh, oh

you know...

Keep your head up

Keep your head up

Keep your head up

What else can you do
