From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come) Lyrics by Dave Edmunds

From Small Things: The Best Of Dave Edmunds

0

[Verse 1]
At sixteen she quit high school
To make her fortune in the promised land
She got a job behind the counter
In an all-night hamburger stand
She wrote faithfully home to mama
"Now mama, don't you worry none
From small things, mama
Big things one day come"
[Verse 2]
It was late one Friday
He pulled in out of the dark
He was tall and handsome
First she took his order then she took his heart
They bought a house up on the hillside
Where little feet would soon run
From small things, mama
Big things one day come
[Bridge]
Oh, but love was fleeting
It's sad but it's true
When your heart is beating
You don't wanna hear the news
[Verse 3]
She packed her bags
And with a Wyomie County real estate man
She drove down to Tampa
In an Eldorado Grand
She wrote back, "Dear mama
Life is just heaven in the sun
From small things, mama
Big things one day come" (Ooh)
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Well, she shot him dead
On a sunny Florida road
When they caught her all she said
Was she couldn't stand the way he drove
[Verse 4]
Back home lonesome Johnny
Waits for his baby's parole
He waits high on the hillside
Where the Wyomie rivers roll
At his feet and almost grown now
A blue-eyed daughter and a handsome son
From small things, mama
Big things one day come
From small things, mama
Big things one day come
Well, from small things, mama
Big things one day come
[Outro]
From small things, mama
Big things one day come
From small things, mama
Big things one day come
Yeah, from small things, mama
Big things one day come
