  • Out of work, I'm out of school
    Guess, things ain't looking so bright
    I got holes in the knees of my Levi jeans
    But the rest of me is dynamite

    On the radio, the guy says come on
    It's so hip, hip, hip to be square
    When the world hits ya hard right here in the face
    What do I know, I don't care

    I get this feeling
    That I'm about to win it all
    (And I'll take it all)
    I'm so excited
    All this here writin' on the wall
    (And I love it all)

    I'll take my money
    And I'll buy myself a car
    I'll grab my girlfriend
    And I'll drive her to the stars

    Well, that might not be my heaven
    But it's close enough to call it

    Big life
    It's what you make it, what you make it
    Big life
    It's what you make it
    I could take a liking to
    Big life

    Late on one day as the sun went down
    I was just about to do the same
    I heard a knock on the door
    Couple girls walked in

    Said, ?Baby don't we know your name??
    Well, we sweated all night
    And we partied all day
    And we did it all over again

    When they left I discovered
    They were workin' undercover
    Hard livin'
    Pays off again

    I get this feeling
    That I'm about to win it all
    (And I'll take it all)
    I'm so excited
    All this here writin' on the wall
    (And I love it all)

    I'll take my money
    And I'll buy myself a car
    I'll get my girlfriend
    And I'll drive her to the stars

    Well, that might not be my heaven
    But it's close enough to call it

    Big life
    It's what you make it, what you make it
    Big life
    It's what you make it
    I could take a liking to
    Big life

    I'll take my money
    And I'll buy myself a car
    I'll get my girlfriend
    And I'll drive her to the stars

    Well, that might not be your heaven
    But it's close enough to call it

    Big life
    It's what you make it, what you make it
    Big life
    It's what you make it
    I could take a liking to
    Big life

    Big life

    It's what you make it, what you make it
    Big life
    It's what you make it
    I could take a liking to
    Big life

    It's what you make it, what you make it
    Big life
    It's what you make it
    I could take a liking to
    Big life
