Nine years old
Took a rocket to the moon
In the cardboard box told him I'ma see you soon
I'm on the bigger on the better
Snap a picture hit
I'll be on the television
Nineteen years old didn't get no sleep
Had a sparrow no book in a pocket full of dreams
On the bigger on the bed
Ain't a quitter under pressure
Making moves like bobby fisher
Be someone when I grow up
I'm gonna be a big deal
Be a big shot
Don't think too small
Don't put me in a box
I'm a big deal
I'm a big shot
Make them stop and say
I'm gonna be a big deal
Be a big shot
Don't think too small
Don't put me in a box
Tell me just sit back and watch
Make them stop and say
Try to stay loose but your chest gets tight
Call a white flag truce you could wave one a night
But you give it another minute
Cause you're the one in a million long shot
Singing I could be someone
When I grow up
I'm gonna be a big deal
Be a big shot
Don't think too small
Don't put me in a box
I'm a big deal
I'm a big shot
Make them stop and say
I'm gonna be a big deal
Be a big shot
Don't think too small
Don't put me in a box
Tell me just sit back and watch
Make them stop and say
I got one two three more lines on my face than I did
And I wish that I could go back and talk to that kid
Say you're gonna be a big deal
Be a big shot
Don't think too small
Let them put you in the
You're a big deal
You're a big shot
Make 'em stop and say
I'm gonna be a big deal
Be a big shot
Don't think too small
Don't put me in a box
I'm a big deal
I'm a big shot
Make a sound and say
I'm gonna be a big deal
Be a big shot
Don't think too small
Don't put me in a box
Tell me just sit back and watch
Make a sound and say
