Big Time Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Gonna leave the pain behind
Gonna leave the fools in line
Gonna take the magic potion
Gettin' in an old black car
Gonna take a ride so far
To the land of sun tan lotion
Gonna take it state by state
Till I hit the Golden Gate
Get my feet wet in the ocean
[Chorus]
I'm still livin' in the dream we had
For me it's not over
I'm still livin' in the dream we had
For me it's not over
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Walkin' on the bridge on day
Lookin' out across the bay
I saw a ripplin' in the water
Once a big ship had passed
I borrowed a traveller's glass
And focused on the ocean's daughter
Kinda like a wave confused
Dancin' in the sunset hues
She waved to me and called me over
Gonna leave the pain behind
Gonna leave the fools in line
Gonna take the magic potion
Gettin' in an old black car
Gonna take a ride so far
To the land of sun tan lotion
Gonna take it state by state
Till I hit the Golden Gate
Get my feet wet in the ocean
[Chorus]
I'm still livin' in the dream we had
For me it's not over
I'm still livin' in the dream we had
For me it's not over
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Walkin' on the bridge on day
Lookin' out across the bay
I saw a ripplin' in the water
Once a big ship had passed
I borrowed a traveller's glass
And focused on the ocean's daughter
Kinda like a wave confused
Dancin' in the sunset hues
She waved to me and called me over
[Chorus]
I'm still livin' in the dream we had
For me it's not over
I'm still livin' in the dream we had
For me it's not over
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Talkin' 'bout a friend of mine
Talkin' 'bout a gold mine
Richest vein in any mountain
Talkin' 'bout the enemy
Inside of me
Talkin' 'bout the youthful fountain
Talkin' 'bout you and me
Talkin' 'bout eternity
Talkin' 'bout the big time
[Chorus]
I'm still livin' in the dream we had
For me it's not over
I'm still livin' in the dream we had
For me it's not over
I'm still livin' in the dream we had
For me it's not over
I'm still livin' in the dream we had
For me it's not over
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Talkin' 'bout a friend of mine
Talkin' 'bout a gold mine
Richest vein in any mountain
Talkin' 'bout the enemy
Inside of me
Talkin' 'bout the youthful fountain
Talkin' 'bout you and me
Talkin' 'bout eternity
Talkin' 'bout the big time
[Chorus]
I'm still livin' in the dream we had
For me it's not over
I'm still livin' in the dream we had
For me it's not over
