Cowboy Boots (The BIG Song)
©Jerry Axson

Well I left Ma and Pa sittin' on the porch,
lookin' out the screen door - tired and coarse,
took consultation with a good friend of mine,
said I will write you if I find the time,

I'm gonna' be big...so big...
I'm gonna' be big...so big...

Lookin' through the window of that Greyhound bus,
humming this refrain, "Leave the driving to us",
never really noticed how small that town seemed,
nice place to visit - if you know what I mean,

what I mean...you know what I mean...
what I mean...you know what I mean...

Cowboy Boots and a young mans' smile,
pickin' and a-grinnin' as we roll the miles,
I'm gonna' be a legend - a country music star,
big diamond rings and drive small foreign cars...

Skyscraper shadows falling down on me,
carbon monoxide so thick you can't see,
pushers and shovers and feminine men,
sometimes I wonder is this how it begins?,

I wanna' be big...so big...
I’ve got to be big...so big...

I got five whole dollars here in my pants,
I can smell success - all I need is a chance,
some like a little - some like a lot,
but I want it all - got to take my shot,

I'm gonna' be big...so big...
I’ve got to be big...so big...

Jerry Axson Columbia, South Carolina

To me simplicity is the root of all great thoughts. The secret thrill for me, the architect, is delivering that thought with unobtrusive complexity. Writing songs and composing music satisfy my soul and because of this I know exactly what I am designed to do, it’s just that simple. - Jerry Axson ... more
