THE BIG ONE
by J. Grotelueschen, Copyright 1999
Oh, at the casino I spend my dough
Waitin' for the day when I'll worry no more, because
Lady luck, she's on my side
So I'd better play another couple rounds tonight
You could say I'm a man obsessed
But I'm luckier than all the rest
So, down to the river I drive my car
I see the riverboat underneath the stars
And I say to the valet parker, "how you been?"
He says "evening sir, it's good to see you again"
'Cause everybody here knows me by my name
And my fortune's gonna be my fame
CHORUS:
When I hit the big one (one of these days)
Oh, you'll say then you knew me when
I hit the big one (one of these days)
Then you're never ever ever gonna see my face around here
(never gonna see my face around here)
Oh, pay no attention to what they say
About me throwin' all my money away, because
It comes back to me every time
So just sit back, Jack, watch me play my line
I'll grab a gin and tonic and I'll sit right down
'Cause tomorrow I'm gonna buy this town
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Sometimes I can't get enough
Of the flashin' of the lights, hustle-bustle of the nights
Try my hand, a little more cash
Soon I'm gonna win my stash
CHORUS
When I hit the big one (one of these days)
Then you're never ever ever gonna see my face around here
(never gonna see my face around here)
