Instead Songtext
von Abandon Jalopy

Instead of stepping outside to get out of hazy
Instead of beating out brains trying to be lazy
Instead of two lovers cranking out babies
Instead of making a deal just so it′s cool

Big Mama's life is lightning fast

And I′m missing all the things that she said
I've closed my eyes and bowed my head
I'm missing all the things that she said
I′ve closed my eyes and bowed my head

Instead of having sure things just turn maybe
Instead of going to work or smoking a reefer
Instead of staying home or hitting the highway
Instead of keeping up with her I went a little crazy


Big Mama′s life is lightning fast

And I'm missing all the things that she said
I′ve closed my eyes and bowed my head
I'm missing all the things that she said
I′ve closed my eyes and bowed my head

Instead of buying a ring I stiffed my lover
Instead of giving her my all I took too many
Instead of staying there I went gold-looking
Instead of keeping up with her I went a little crazy

Big Mama's life is lightning fast

And I′m missing all the things that she said
I've closed my eyes and bowed my head
I'm missing all the things that she said
I′ve closed my eyes and bowed my head
