Bigger Man

Tom Cochrane

I watched while you might say
So long, happy trails
You can only wait so long
'Til the wind shakes your sails
And you see that she says, "bye bye"
Then she turns and digs her heels back in

Oh, I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight
I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight
I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight
Oh, you got nothing to prove to me

You say the deck is oh, so stacked
Is that all just in your mind
It can sometimes be turned back
Maybe sometimes if you try
The play goes on and on
While the big cats all lay their claim

Oh, I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight
I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight
I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight
Oh, you got nothing to prove

If it all comes down tonight
There'll be shades of light
From a wider source
Oh, hit me up they'd say
"We'll make Nero hide
'Til Rome, it burns to the ground"
Then we'll wave, bye bye
They never have seen a darker horse than us

Oh, I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight
I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight
I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight
Oh, you got nothing to prove

Let's blow this stand
While the night gets old
They can do their dance
By the palest light
When the fools rush in
We're gone

Oh, I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight
I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight
I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight
Oh, you got nothing to prove

I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight
I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight
I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight
Oh, she said, she said, she said, she said

I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight
I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight
I'm gonna let you be the bigger man tonight
She said, I'm gonna let you be
I'm gonna let you, I'm gonna let you
I'm gonna let you, I'm gonna let you
I'm gonna let you, I'm gonna let you
