Big Time

Jody Jones is a dentist now

Back there in our home town

Is married to a real nice girl named Alice

Nicky is in the family biz

Couple of years and it will be all his

Tommy Dean, he died last year in Dallas

These are the guys that I think of

When I think back

Yeah I think back on all of us

Nicky played a red guitar

I was too young for the bars

And we were gonna be big old stars by now

Me and Tommy wrote some songs

Play 'em loud and way too long

And we all knew someday, someway, somehow

We would be big time

Even though we play the dives

And barely made it out alive

We didn't mind

Big time

We were broke as we could gets

Sharing all our cigarettes and wine

We never made a dime

But we had a big time

It's funny how time turns a page

Memories turn gold with age

Those crazy days just blazed with glory

Well I was there by Tommy's side

Right before we said good bye

Sharing all the laughter, tears and stories

No matter where that conversation went

It would come around again

Yeah come around again and again

Nicky played a red guitar

I was too young for the bars

And we were gonna be big old stars by now

Me and Tommy wrote some songs

Play 'em loud and way too long

And we all knew someday, someway, somehow

We would be big time

Even though we play the dives

And barely made it out alive

We didn't mind

Big time

We were broke as we could gets

Sharing all our cigarettes and wine

We never made a dime

But we had a big time

Big time

Oh yeah

We had a big time
