You’re a Big Girl Now (Live at Hughes Stadium, Ft. Collins, CO - May 1976)

[Verse 1]
Our conversation
Was short and sweet
It nearly swept me
Off of my feet

[Chorus 1]
And I’m back in the rain
Hey, and you are on dry land
You made it there somehow
You’re a big girl now

[Verse 2]
Bird on the horizon
Sittin’ on a fence
He’s singin’ his song for me
At his own expense

[Chorus 2]
And I’m just like that bird
Hey, singin’ just for you
I hope that you can hear
Hear me singin’ through these tears

[Verse 3]
Love is so simple
To quote a phrase
You’ve known it all the time
I’m learnin’ it these days

[Chorus 3]
Oh, I know where I can find you
Hey, in somebody’s room
It’s a price I'll have to pay
You’re a big girl all the way

[Verse 4]
Time is a jet plane
It moves too fast
Oh, but what a shame
If all we’ve shared can’t last

[Chorus 4]
Well, I'll change, I swear
Hey, see what you can do
I can make it through
You can make it too

[Verse 5]
A change in the weather
Is always extreme
But what’s the sense of changing
Horses in midstream?

[Chorus 5]
I’m going out of my mind
Hey, with a pain that stops and starts
Like a corkscrew to my heart
Ever since we’ve been apart
