I ain't never seen the big time
Honey that's okay with me
I ain't never seen the big time
Honey that's okay with me
Just a sittin' on this front porch
All the big time I'll ever need
I'll buy you a ticket to the big time
Might need a loan but that ain't nothin' new
Buy you a ticket to the big time
Might need a loan but that ain't nothin' new
They say I can't afford the big time?
Baby I'll just write an iou
There ain't no one in the big time
That hangs out the laundry like you do
There ain't no one in the big time
That hangs out the laundry like you do
I'm a-having myself a big time
Just watching you rub and
Scrub the whole day through
I ain't never seen the big time
Honey that's okay with me
I ain't never seen the big time
Honey that's okay with me
Just a-sittin' on this front porch
All the big time I'll ever need
Just a-sittin' on this front porch
All the big time I'll ever need
