So Long Big Time

Bright lights are dimmer

Bankroll is slimmer

Looks like I'm down and done, bye bye

I gotta run, bye bye

So long, so long, big time

So long, so long, big time

I made it fine, I made it fast

That ain't the sign it has to last

Had it made for a while

In a highfalutin style

So long, so long, big time

Big dough, bright lights, big time

I won't pretend, I am glad it's ended

It was fun, now it's done

But I'll never sing a loser's song

So long, big time

I gotta run, so long

Tell the chicks and tell all the cronies

Lost it on the cards and ponies

Tell the friends and fairweather phonies

Living high and tell 'em why

And tell 'em why

Lady Luck just gave me the brush up

So I'll rush up and try a new routine

I'm the girl who rolls with the punches

And my hunch is it's time to quit the scene

Tell the kids and tell all the cookies

Tell the babes and all the bookies

That I'm new, that I'm through

And when you do, buy a few beers for me

Tell 'em no tears for me

So long, so long, big time

Big dough, bright lights, big time

Ain't gonna grieve 'cause I must be leaving

It was fun, now it's done

But I'll never sing a loser's song

So long, big time

I gotta run, so long
