Big Time/Neil Young

gonna leave the pain behind
gonna leave the fools in line
gonna take the magic potion

gettin' in an old black car
gonna take a ride so far
to the land of suntan lotion

gonna take it state by state
till i hit the golden gate
get my feet wet in the ocean

i'm still living the dream we had
for me it's not over

walkin' on the bridge one day
lookin' out across the bay
i saw a rippling in the water

once a big ship had passed
i borrowed a traveller's glass
and focused on the ocean's daughter.

kind of like a wave confused
dancing in the sunset hews
she waved to me and called me over

i'm still living the dream we had
for me it's not over

talkin' 'bout a friend of mine
talkin' 'bout a gold mine
richest vein in any mountain.

talkin' 'bout the enemy
inside of me
talkin' 'bout that youthful fountain.

talkin' 'bout you and me
talkin' 'bout eternity
talkin' 'bout the big time.

i'm still living the dream we had
for me it's not over
