Big Life

(album: Big Life - 1987)

Out of work, I'm out of school
Guess things ain't looking so bright

I got holes in the knees of my Levi jeans
But the rest of me is dynamite

On the radio, the guy says come on
It's so hip, hip, hip to be square

When the world hits ya hard right here in the face
What do I know, I don't care

I get this feeling
That I'm about to win it all
(And I'll take it all)
I'm so excited
All this here writing on the wall
(And I love it all)

I'll take my money
And I'll buy myself a car
I'll grab my girlfriend
And I'll drive her to the stars
Well that might not be my heaven
But it's close enought to call it
Big Life
It's what you make it, what you make it
Big Life
It's what you make it
I could take a liking to
Big Life

Late on one day as the sun went down
I was just about to do the same
I heard a knock on the door
Couple girls walked in
Said, Baby don't we know your name?
Well, we sweated all night
And we partied all day
And we did it all over again
When they left I discovered
They were working undercover
Hard living pays off again

I get this feeling
That I'm about to win it all
(And I'll take it all)
I'm so excited
All this here writing on the wall
(And I love it all)

I'll take my money
And I'll buy myself a car
I'll get my girlfriend
And I'll drive her to the stars
Well that might not be my heaven
But it's close enought to call it
Big Life
It's what you make it, what you make it
Big Life
It's what you make it
I could take a liking to
Big Life

I'll take my money
And I'll buy myself a car
I'll get my girlfriend
And I'll drive her to the stars
Well that might not be your heaven
But it's close enough to call it
Big Life
It's what you make it, what you make it
Big Life
It's what you make it
I could take a liking to
Big Life

Big Life

[2x:]
It's what you make it, what you make it
Big Life
It's what you make it
I could take a liking to
Big Life
