Big Man In Town

Intro
Hold me like a baby
Tell me you will never leave
Tell me I can be, anything I wanna be
And I’ll believe it
Cause my soul is ‘til infinity
I know my childhood self
Would hate to see me grieve
I reminisce, when my heart was pure
And thoughts were even
Back when dark times
Only meant the sun was sleeping
Run around in circles
Hoping I’m the one they choose
But now I’m different
I no longer wanna be the goose
I ring around the Rosie
And they don’t pick me up
I’m falling harder and harder
I’m close to giving up
I used to try my hardest
And I got all the love
Now I try my hardest
And it’s just not enough

Verse 1
Yeah...mhmm, mhmm, mhmm, yeah…
I just keep thinking bout
All those mistakes I’ve made
But they’re not adding up
To the price I’ve paid
I’m starting to understand the world
All the cold I used to doubt it
I embrace it in my soul
Ain’t a thing to do about it
I need some validation, say you love me, hold me close
It seems like God is gone, the devil tends to know me most
I wish them signs would stop, them visions of the Holy Ghost
Are so misleading, so deceiving, they my only hope
I tried so hard to make it
I thought she understood
But my pursuit of riches
Made her leave for good
And now I’m richer than I ever been
Money is irrelevant
Trade it all for you
Baby, see me on the television

Hook
I’ll be the big man in town
Honest honey, I’ll be the big man in town
Promise darling, I’ll be the big man in town
Just you wait and see…
You’ll be proud of me

Verse 2
You know what people say
They say the good die young
I wish that could be me
I’m just not good enough
I hear what people say
I know they talking ‘bout me
I bet they’ll still be talking
When they go on without me
It’ll just be “Something Different”
Hold up, did you get that reference?
Spend time, don’t pay attention
They hear, but they just don’t listen
I feel abandoned and lonely but they don’t even see
Cause on the surface I’m happy, and they don’t look too deep
I got a new fish I’m seeing, I think she’s hooked to me
Salty attitude, I swear, I don’t know what she sees in me
I’m insecure, I just hope that you’ll all feel proud of me
How could I believe in a God, if he don’t believe in me?

Hook
I’ll be the big man in town
Honest honey I’ll be the big man in town
Promise darling, I’ll be the big man in town
Just you wait and see…
You’ll be proud of me
You’ll be proud of me
You’ll be proud of me
You’ll be proud of me
Just you wait and see
