I may not have what it takes to make the big time
The big time is a long, long ways away
From the one who said
"When you lose your life, you can find it"
Then He died to show us the way
In the end I think the big time just won't pay
I went to Nashville, cut myself a record
In the eyes of the world
It was just a great big flop
Then Jesus came and set his precious love upon it
Pushed it all the way to the top
Lord, that's way past where the big time has to stop
Big time - so much compromising
Big time - you're always giving in
Big time - soon without realizing
Big time - you're not following Him...
Where did He go
I may not have what it takes to make the big time
The big time is a long, long ways away
From the one who said
"When you lose your life, you can find it"
Then He died to show us the way
In the end I think the big time just won't pay
