Bright lights are dimmer
|
Bank roll is slimmer
|
Looks like I'm down and done
|
Bye bye
|
I gotta run
|
Bye bye
|
|
So long, so long
|
Big time
|
So long, so long
|
Big time
|
|
I made it fine
|
I made it fast
|
That ain't the sign
|
It has to last
|
|
Had it made for a while
|
In a highfalutin style
|
|
So long, so long
|
Big time
|
Big dough, bright lights
|
Big time
|
|
I won't pretend I am
|
Glad its ended
|
It was fun
|
Now its done
|
But I'll never sing
|
A loser's song
|
|
So long big time
|
I gotta run
|
So long
|
|
Tell the chicks
|
And tell all the cronies
|
Lost it all on the cards
|
And the ponies
|
Tell the friends
|
And fair-weather phonies
|
Living high
|
Tell a¢æ?em, a¢æ©«Byea¢æ?
|
And tell a¢æ?em why
|
|
Lady Luck just gave me the brush off
|
So I'll rush off
|
And try a new routine
|
|
I'm a guy who rolls with the punches
|
And my hunch is
|
Its time to quit the scene
|
|
Tell the kids
|
And tell all the cookies
|
Tell the babes
|
And tell all the bookies
|
That I knew
|
That I'm through
|
And when you do
|
Buy a few beers for me
|
Tell 'em no tears for me
|
|
So long, so long
|
Big time
|
Big dough, bright lights
|
Big time
|
|
Ain't gonna grieve
|
a¢æ?Cause I must be leaving
|
It was funNow its done
|
But I'll never sing
|
A loser's song
|
|
So long big time
|
I gotta run
|
So long
|
|

So Long, Big Time!
