WELCOME TO THE SMALL TIME - by Ray O'Bannon


hey kid, wanna be a star with a big black limousine
want a gig with a sold out crowd and a tall blonde in between
want it all and you want it bad but the big dogs never call
waitin' round for the big big break but your back's against the wall

gotta know the bottom line if you plan to reach the top

Chorus:
welcome to the small time, gonna see what you're all about
welcome to the small time and you can find your own way out
welcome to the small time, might fly high, might crash below
you just never know, welcome to the small time

want to get what you're lookin for, gotta keep your dreams in sight
uphill it's a heavy load but you can't give up the fight
no room for the second best and there ain't no helping hand
right here's where the punches count and it's here you make your stand

gotta know the bottom line if you plan to reach the top

(chorus)
gotta know that bottom line if you plan to reach the top
welcome to the small time
welcome to the small time
welcome to the small time, small small time
welcome to the small time
