Big Man In A Big House

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When he was a kid, he dreamed about a big house on a hill Far far away from shantytown and poverty He was only sixteen, a kid full of dreams when he ran away And left his mom a note saying "You'll be proud me someday" [Chorus 1] "When I'm a big man in a big house With acres and acres of ground I'll be a big man in a big house With a big high fence all around A big high fence all around [Verse 2] Well he settled down in a great big town and he worked so hard But the harder he'd work the more he'd spend it seemed All his newfound friends made fun of him and said "Come along And we'll show you how you can fulfill all your dreams" [Verse 3] He was just twenty-one when a loaded gun was his downfall For he joined the gang and done somethings he shouldn't do Then one rainy night the police came by and they took him in And the judge said "Son, there's a place for kids like you" [Chorus 2] Now he's a big man in a big house With acres and acres of ground Yes he's a big man in a big house With a big high fence all around A big high fence all around
