“I'd rather be at home with Ray,
I ain't got seventy days
Cause there's nothing,
There's nothing you can teach me
That I can't learn from Mr Hathaway.

But I know it don't come in a shot glass.”

“Because you had to be a big shot, didn't you
You had to open up your mouth
You had to be a big shot, didn't you

You had to have the last word, last night
You know what everything's about
You had to have a white hot spotlight
You had to be a big shot last night.”

You can turn your back on what you do
Just a little smile is all it takes
And you can have your cake and eat it too.
