William Clark Green - Next Big Thing Lyrics

Lookin' back now, it's been about seven years
Since I heard the world callin' and I disappeared
Sold a few records, played a few shows
Sometimes, man, I just don't know why they keep telling me
You're the next big thing
What's that mean?
Oh, it's hard to pay your dues when there ain't no money in the bank
It's a shame
I got to make it to the show but there ain't no gas in the tank
It's insane
What you do for a broken heart and some busted string?
Oh, everybody saying I'm the next big thing
Pretty little thing won't talk to me backstage
Little does she know I don't make minimum wage
Smoke and mints, truth and lies
Tell the truth, I don't mind you whispering to me
Because you're the next big thing
What's that mean?
Oh, it's hard to pay your dues when there ain't no money in the bank
It's a shame
I got to make it to the show but there ain't no gas in the tank
It's insane
What you do for a broken heart and some busted string?
Oh, everybody saying I'm the next big thing
Because you're the next big thing
What's that mean?
Oh, it's hard to pay your dues when there ain't no money in the bank
It's a shame
I got to make it to the show but there ain't no gas in the tank
It's insane
What you do for a broken heart and some busted string?
Oh, everybody saying I'm the next big thing
The next big thing
Oh, everybody saying I'm the next big thing

Lookin' back now, it's been about seven years
Since I heard the world callin' and I disappeared
Sold a few records, played a few shows
Sometimes, man, I just don't know why they keep telling me
You're the next big thing
What's that mean?
Oh, it's hard to pay your dues when there ain't no money in the bank
It's a shame
I got to make it to the show but there ain't no gas in the tank
It's insane
What you do for a broken heart and some busted string?
Oh, everybody saying I'm the next big thing
Pretty little thing won't talk to me backstage
Little does she know I don't make minimum wage
Smoke and mints, truth and lies
Tell the truth, I don't mind you whispering to me
Because you're the next big thing
What's that mean?
Oh, it's hard to pay your dues when there ain't no money in the bank
It's a shame
I got to make it to the show but there ain't no gas in the tank
It's insane
What you do for a broken heart and some busted string?
Oh, everybody saying I'm the next big thing
Because you're the next big thing
What's that mean?
Oh, it's hard to pay your dues when there ain't no money in the bank
It's a shame
I got to make it to the show but there ain't no gas in the tank
It's insane
What you do for a broken heart and some busted string?
Oh, everybody saying I'm the next big thing
The next big thing
Oh, everybody saying I'm the next big thing
