Bigger Man

I watched while you might say

So long happy trails

You can only wait so long

Till the wind shakes your sails

And you see that she says bye bye

Then she turns and digs her heels back in

I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight

I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight

I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight

Oh, you got nothing to prove to me

You say the deck is oh so stacked

Is that all just in your mind

It can sometimes be turned back

Maybe sometimes if you try

The play goes on and on

While the big cats all lay their claim

I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight

I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight

I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight

Oh, you got nothing to prove

If it all comes down tonight

There'll be shades of light from a wider source

Oh hit me up they'd say, "We'll make Nero hide

Till Rome it burns to the ground"

Then we'll never wave bye bye

They never have seen a darker horse than us

Oh, I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight

I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight

I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight

Oh, you got nothing to prove

Let's blow this thing

While the night gets cold, they can do their day

By the palest light when the fools rush in

We're gone

Oh, I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight

I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight

I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight

Oh, you got nothing to prove

I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight

I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight

I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight

Oh, she said, she said

I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight

I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight

I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight

I'm gonna let you be

I'm gonna let you, I'm gonna let you be

I'm gonna let you, I'm gonna let you be

I'm gonna let you, I'm gonna let you be
