Slim Dusty - Big Time (Just Because You're in Deep) lyrics

rate me

Just because you're in the big time,

Don't you think you're too wise for me,

Funny I remember when you were eatin' now and then,

So don't try your big time on me.

Just because you're in the big time,

Don't you think you're too wise for me,

Don't forget there was a time I could buy you for a dime,

So don't try your big time on me.

Just because you're in the big time,

Don't you think you're too wise for me,

You were shinin' shoes I know when I was up in the dough

So don't try your big time on me.

Just because you're in the big time,

Don't you think you're too wise for me,

When you're rent was overdue I squared up the bill for you,

So don't try your big time on me.

Just because you're in the big time,

Don't you think you're too wise for me,

When they put you in the jail I'm the guy put up the bail,

So don't try your big time on me.

Just because you're in the big time,

Don't you think you're too wise for me,

I'll admit your clothes are fine but they used to look like mine,

So don't try your big time on me.

Just because you're in the big time,

Don't you think you're too wise for me,

When you had no socks to wear I had on a dollar pair,

So Don't try your big time on me.

Oh, Just because you're in the big time,

Don't you think you're too wise for me,

When you had no place to sleep

I dug down and I dug down deep,

So don't try your big time on me.
