Bigger man
Cochrane Tom Lyrics

I watched while you might say
So long, happy trails
You can only wait so long
'Til the wind shakes your sails
And you see that she says, "bye bye"
Then she turns and digs her heels back in

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 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

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

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
'Til Rome, it burns to the ground"
Then we'll 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 stand
While the night gets old
They can do their dance
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, 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
She said, I'm gonna let you be
I'm gonna let you, I'm gonna let you
I'm gonna let you, I'm gonna let you
I'm gonna let you, I'm gonna let you

"BALLAD"???

GREAT Tune but NOT a "Ballad"... An AWESOME Single!

There are Four or Five MORE on This "MAD MAD WORLD" Album and Perhaps you should Listen to its Title Track?

SERIOUSLY!

😂

But, YES, "SINKING LIKE A SUNSET" is One HELL of a TUNE TOO!

Any Thoughts on the Song about "KINGS MEN"?

Curious... TRULY!

Finally, Thank You for Recognizing SUPERB Songwriting Talent, as TOM COCHRANE and his Band are Deserving of BETTER Acknowledgement...

ABSOLUTELY

❤ 😅

Walking by the roadside
I see my fate written upon it
I'm checkin' out the back here
Where my race is not run
Might hear a thousand harps of heaven
Rain down upon her
I can't stand and watch
While you stand accused
We got no, no regrets
We might have seen better times
But maybe we ain't been there yet
Remember the good times
Oh, and least you forget
Oh, and have no, no regrets
Sometimes you might find
Like you feel that you're drowning
Run for cover like some blown out fuse
Remember one thing that you filed that number
You can call me up, baby, you won't be refused
Have no, no regrets
You might have seen better times
But maybe we ain't been there yet
Remember the good times, oh, and least you forget
Oh, and have no, no regrets
Oh, oh, oh
After all the shit you know we've been through it
Oh, there ain't a shovel big enough in the world
That can move it
We got no, no regrets
Might have seen better times
But maybe we ain't been there yet
Remember who you are, and don't you forget
Oh, and have no, no regrets
Oh, and have no, no regrets

Saw Tom open for John Mellencamp in Saskatoon Feb 2008. This was his second last song and the place was electric! No one was sitting and the walls were vibrating, the crowd and band became one. They lit it up and played it just like you hear it here, only adding a big huge jam at the end. When they finally let the echo die out Tom said “our drummer had a feeling that tonight was going to be amazing”.
Well it was because I hardly remember John.
