BIG SHOT
Copyright 1996 Paul M. Elliott

--- verse ---
I coulda been a big shot, with a fancy car.
I was picking out my Lear Jet, with my credit card.
I was real hot, I was a rising star.
I was heading for the prime time, I was going far.

Then you came along, and things they just went wrong, look what you've done!
I look at what I had, now it's all gone bad, look what you've done!

--- verse ---
I tried to love you girl, I gave you everything.
You coulda been my queen, I woulda been your king.
Wasn't I good to you, bought you a diamond ring.
I guess you played it real cool, it didn't mean a thing.

Then you came along, and things they just went wrong, look what you've done!
I look at what I had, now it's all gone bad, look what you've done!

--- bridge ---
I was
picked up, put down,
cut up, cut down,
shut up, shut down,
set up, let down.
turned in, turned out,
tricked in, kicked out,
strung up, strung out,
burned up, burned out.
