BIG SHOT Lyrics by ​The Lumineers

BRIGHTSIDE

2021

[Verse 1: Wesley Schultz]
All the things you said to me
The manifest and destiny
Well, all of this could go away right now
[Pre-Chorus: Wesley Schultz]
And everyone was in the band
And I was on another planet
And you were all alone
[Chorus: Wesley Schultz, James Felice & Simone Felice]
And you wanna be a big shot
You wanna be the big man
You wanna hold a big gun
You gotta have a quick hand
You wanna be the big shot now
The chosen one your mother loved the most
After all
[Verse 2: Wesley Schultz]
Early morning, still in bed
You hate yourself for what you said
'Cause you could never admit you were wrong
[Pre-Chorus: Wesley Schultz]
And every song was out of key
And I was in the in-between
And you, still all alone
[Chorus: Wesley Schultz, James & Simone]
And you wanna be a big shot
You wanna be the big man
You wanna place a big bet
You better have a big hand
You wanna be the big shot
You wanna be the only son we love
After all
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus: Wesley Schultz, James & Simone]
And you wanna be a big shot
You wanna be the big man
You wanna hold a big gun (Big gun)
You better have a quick hand (Quick hand)
You wanna be the big shot (The big shot)
You wanna be the big man (Big man)
You wanna place a big bet (Big bet)
You better have a sick hand (Sick hand)
[Outro: Wesley Schultz, James & Simone]
You wanna be the big shot now
Big shot now
After all
