"Big Man In A Little Suit" lyrics
"Big Man In A Little Suit"
Oh, I've been staying up nights
Thinking 'bout a long flight that could take me home
Or a slow train rolling
Or a big boat floating out there on that lonely ocean
I'm not the man I was
I guess the dark side lost and the sun broke through
I thought I knew it all
I was the next big thing until I thought about you
Oh, I was reaching for the stars
When I wasn't even touching you
I was lying to myself
I needed no one's help
Thought I was living proof
When there's one set of footsteps
No one's gonna fill your shoes
Now I'm looking in the mirror
At a big man in a little suit
I'm a big man in a little suit
It's tight on me, hard on you
It's a shortcut, but it's a long way home
When you think you can make it on your own
You think you're bulletproof
But what you really are
Is a big man in a little suit
Oh, I was part of the chain
A face with no name in a place with no soul
By a thief in the night
I was robbed of the light and left with nothing
Nothing to hold
I've turned my back on a world like that
I want to get back to loving you
Give me one more chance
Won't you warm the hands of this cold headed fool?
I was reaching for the stars
When I wasn't even touching you
I was lying to myself
I needed no one's help
Thought I was living proof
When there's one set of footsteps
No one's gonna fill your shoes
Now I'm looking in the mirror
At a big man in a little suit
I'm a big man in a little suit
It's tight on me, hard on you
It's a shortcut, but it's a long way home
When you think you can make it on your own
You think you're bulletproof
But what you really are
Is a big man in a little suit
It's tight on me, hard on you
It's a shortcut, but it's a long way home
When you think you can make it on your own
You think you're bulletproof
But what you really are
Is a big man in a little suit
A big man in a little suit

Creedence Clearwater Revival - "Proud Mary" Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man ev'ry night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'

Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on...

Light in your head and dead on your feet
Well, another crazy day
You'll drink the night away

I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue

Dire Straits - "Romeo And Juliet" A lovestruck Romeo sings the streets a serenade
Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
Says something like, "You and me babe, how about it?"...
Eagles - "Take It Easy" Well, I'm a-running down the road
Tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven women on my mind
Four that wanna own me
Two that wanna stone me
One says she's a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy...
