i think today's gonna be the day, all my lucks gonna turn
i think the bossll take what im worth, and turn it into what i earn
im thinkin if i keep my chin held high, i can stop my hopes from sinkin
thats the one thing gets a poor boy by: big thinkin
friday night when the city lights call, the devil inside me responds
in the back of my mind i see it all, the bourbon and the red-hot blondes
and a man on his doorstep showin no signs, of a long hard night of drinkin
i think im gonna fool her every time: big thinkin
galileo had quite an i.q. , he got to thinkin and the world moved
i wish he could step into my shoes and look at what thoughts wont do
one day i think im gonna ride behind the wheel of a long black lincoln
and i wont be in a box of pine: big thinkin
well, it might look like im killin time, layin on the couch all day
but im busy hatchin my next big move, not wastin my life away
if the fat cats knew what i could do, what big checks theyd be inkin
but you cant pay bills when your only skills: big thinkin
columbus thought til he turned blue,
and suddenly the map looked brand new
but take out the money and the musclebound crew,
and look at what thoughts wont do
she'll go down in honky-tonk history
shell go down in honky-tonk history
with her name on a plaque, describin' the fact that she left me
shell be a legend in her own time
right up in back of that cold beer sign
shell go down in honky-tonk history
shes been burnin' up her days in a blaze of wild nights
and her name is a household word where the houses have blue lights
and i have tried to change her mind, but i guess its set in stone
cause she has found new friends downtown and a place that she calls home
barstools spin as she walks in and jaws drop to the floor
she pours down round after round while the boys just bring her more
and all they sees a barroom tease with a taste to paint the town
shes been living it up too long to ever live it down
