Big Time Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Make it count,
Play it straight.
Don't look back,
Don't hesitate.
When you go big time.

Whatcha want,
Whatcha feel.
Never quit,
Make it real.
When you roll big time.

Hey! (oh) hey! (oh)
Listen to your heart now!
Hey! (oh) hey! (oh)
Don't you feel the rush?
Hey! (oh) hey! (oh)
Better take your shot now

Oh oh oh oh.
Oh oh oh oh.

Go shake it up!
Whatcha gotta lose?
Go and make your luck with the life you choose,
If you want it all,
Lay it on the line.
It's the only life ya got,
So ya gotta live it big time.

Step it up,
Get in gear.
Go for broke,
Make it clear.
Gotta go big time.

Make it work,
Get it right.
Change the world over night.
Gotta dream big time.

(Oh) Hey! (oh) hey! (oh)
Give it all ya got now
Hey! (oh) hey! (oh)
Isn't it a rush?
Hey! (oh) hey! (oh)
Finish what you start now.

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

Go shake it up!
Whatcha gotta lose?
Go and make your luck with the life you choose,
If you want it all,
Lay it on the line.
It's the only life ya got,
So ya gotta live it big time.

Look around,
Every light is shining now,
It's brighter somehow.
Look around,
Nothing's really as it seems,
Nothing but dreams.
You and I,
Gonna make a brand new sound,
Like we own this town.

We can't die,
Now our feet are off the ground,
We'll never look down.
Welcome to the big time,
All the pretty people see you walking in the sunshine.
Welcome to the good times,
Life will never be the same.

Go shake it up!
Whatcha gotta loose?
Go and make your luck with the life you choose,
If you want it all,
Lay it on the line.
It's the only life ya got,
So ya gotta live it big time.

If you want it all,
Lay it on the line




It's the only life ya got,
So ya gotta live it big time.

4 minutes of never once breaking harmonizing vocals. Back when country was good

@mjm33mjm

Haunting harmony, I think Big is dancing around with the major third, and hearing it underneath the melody line is so atypical, gives me chills! Gina Gerson is pretty easy on the eyes as well...

@HighGravity1100

I concur. Outstanding harmony below the melody!

@eflounder

This harmony is a technical marvel

@connorm955

I remember listening to this album, summer 2004. Good times.

@lonniehernandez6950

Big and Rich are awesome. Love the melodies, and the story lines are hilarious.

@bobbyanderson9633
