Текст William Clark Green – Next Big Thing

Lookin’ back now its been about seven years
Since I heard the world callin’ my name and I disappeared
Sold a few records, played a few shows
Sometimes man I just don’t know why they keep tellin’ me

You’re the next big thing
What’s that mean?
Oh, it’s hard to pay your dues when there ain’t no money in the bank
It’s a shame
I got to make it to the show but there ain’t no gas in the tank
It’s insane
What you do for a broken heart and some busted strings
Oh, everybody sayin’ I’m the next big thing

Pretty little thing won’t talk to me back stage
Little does she know I don’t make minimum wage
Smoke and mints truth and lies
Tell the truth I don’t mind you whisperin’ to me

Because you’re the next big thing
What’s that mean?
Oh, it’s hard to pay your dues when there ain’t no money in the bank
It’s a shame
I got to make it to the show but there ain’t no gas in the tank
It’s insane
What you do for a broken heart and some busted strings
Oh, everybody sayin’ I’m the next big thing

Because you’re the next big thing
What’s that mean?
Oh, it’s hard to pay your dues when there ain’t no money in the bank
It’s a shame
I got to make it to the show but there ain’t no gas in the tank
It’s insane

The next big thing
Oh, everybody sayin’ I’m the next big thing
