My hair might be a little too long for your taste, my friend My car might cost a little less than that suit you're wearing I'm glad you've stumbled in here on your business trip Before you close your tab remember I play for tips Well I bet your wife is beautiful and you're a really big so-and-so Well I'm not doing bad myself, hey friend don't you know I play guitar and I sing my songs in the sunshine Captain and Cokes and barroom jokes keep me feeling fine And there's always a stage and a beautiful babe to squeeze my lime In my simple way, guess you can say I'm living in the big time I know I'll probably never make a million bucks But savings accounts and the IRS never worry me much I don't need that stuff 'cause I've got friends like you To but me drinks, have boats and planes that I can use I know you're really living in that house up on the hill So if you feel like giving, friend I've got a jar to fill I play guitar and I sing my songs in the sunshine Captain and Cokes and barroom jokes keep me feeling fine And there's always a stage and a beautiful babe to squeeze my lime In my simple way, guess you can say I'm living in the big time I'm having the time of my life No worries on my mind Everything's just fine Today is even better than yesterday Everything is going my way I'm living the big time And there's always a stage and beautiful babe to squeeze my lime In my simple way guess you could say I'm living in the big time
