"Big Man In A Big House" lyrics

(He's a big man in a big house)

Well, when he was a kid he dreamed about a big house on a hill
Far far away from Shantytown and poverty
He was only sixteen a kid full of dreams when he ran away
He left his mom a note sayin' you'll be proud of me some day

When I'm a big man in a big house
With acres and acres of ground
I'll be a big man in a big house
With a big high fence all around
A big high fence all around

Well, he settled down in a great big town and he worked so hard
But the harder he'd work the more he'd spend it seemed
And all his new found friends they made fun of him and said come along
And we'll show you how you can fulfill all your dreams

You'll be a big man in a big house
With acres and acres of ground
You'll be a big man in a big house
A big high fence all around
A big high fence all around

He was just twenty-one when a loaded gun was his downfall
For he joined the gang he did something he shouldn't do
Then one rainy night the police came by and they took him in
And the judge said son there's a place for kids like you

Now he's a big man in a big house
With acres and acres of ground
Yes, he's a big man in a big house
With a big high fence all around
A big high fence all around
With acres and acres of ground...
