Lyrics

[Intro] Come on Yeah [Verse 1] Well, at sixteen she quit high school To make her fortune in the promised land She got a job behind the counter At an all-night hamburger stand She wrote faithfully home to mama "Now mama, don't you worry none From small things, mama, big things one day come" Come on, play it [Verse 2] It was late one Friday He pulled in out of the dark He was tall and handsome First she took his order then she took his heart They bought a house on the hillside Where little feet would soon run From small things, mama, big things one day come [Refrain] Oh, but lovе was fleeting It's sad but true When your heart is bеating You don't wanna hear the news [Verse 3] She packed her bags And with a Wyomie County real estate man She went down to Tampa In an Eldorado Grand She wrote back home, "Dear mama Life is heaven in the sun From small things, mama, big things one day come" Ooh, yeah, professor [Refrain] Well, she shot him dead On a sunny Florida road But when they caught her all she said She couldn't stand the way he drove [Verse 4] Back home lonesome Johnny Waits for his baby's parole He waits on the hillside Where the Wyomie rivers roll At his feet and almost grown now A blue-eyed daughter and a handsome son From small things, mama, big things one day come Well, from small things, mama, big things one day come Well, from small things, mama, big things one day come
