Big Fish
© 2001 Neal Gladstone

 

What the hell is going on here?

Don't those people know who I am?

I go down to California

Nobody (down there) gives a damn

No one wants to take my picture

No one wants my autograph

I tell people that I'm famous

They just look a me and laugh

 

Now my big dream been stepped on

Like a bad line in a love song

I was a big fish in a little pond

Now I'm a minnow in the ocean

 

I call this guy who owns a night club

I ask what it takes to get us in

I say we'll play for cheap just to get started

He tells me we have to pay HIM

Everybody wants to make a million

Everybody wants to be a star

Everybody knows somebody's cousin

Everybody's cousin plays guitar

 

Chorus

We're just trying to keep our dreams together
We're just doing the best that we can do
When someone tells you they've got all the answers
Chances are they haven't got a clue

Sometimes I have to learn the hard way
Sometimes the truth is hard to find
But I've been around awhile and let me tell ya
This little pond looks better all the time
 

Chorus
