Something Big Lyrics - Tom Petty

Well it didn't feel like Sunday 

Didn't feel like June 

When he met his silent partner 

In that lonely corner room 

That overlooked the marquee 

Of the plaza all-adult 

And he was not lookin' for romance 

Just someone he could trust 

And it wasn't no way to carry on 

It wasn't no way to live 

But he could put up with it for a little while 

He was workin' on something big 

Speedball rang the night clerk 

Said, "Send me up a drink" 

Now the night clerk said, "It's Sunday man 

Wait a minute, let me think"

"There' a little place outside of town 

Might still have some wine" 

Speedball said, "Forget it man 

Can I have an outside line?" 

And it wasn't no way to carry on 

It wasn't no way to live 

But he could put up with it for a little while 

He was workin' on something big 

It was Monday when the day maids 

Found the still made bed 

All except the pillows 

That lay stacked up at the head 

And one said, "I know 

I've seen his face, I wonder who he is" 

And the other said, "Probably it's just another clown 

Working on something big"

And it wasn't no way to carry on 

It wasn't no way to live 

But he could put up with it for a little while 

He was workin' on something big 

And it wasn't no way to carry on 

It wasn't no way to live 

But he could put up with it for a little while 

He was workin' on something big 

Something big
