From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come)

[Intro]

A one two three four

One two three four

[Verse 1]

At sixteen she quit high school

To make her fortune in the promised land

She got a job behind the counter

In an all-night hamburger stand

She wrote faithfully home to mama

"Now mama, don't you worry none

From small things, mama

Big things one day come"

[Verse 2]

It was late one Friday

He pulled in out of the dark

He was tall and handsome

First she took his order then she took his heart

They bought a house on the hillside

Where little feet soon would run

Well, from small things, mama

Big things one day come

[Bridge]

Oh, but love is fleeting

It's sad but true

But when your heart is beating

You don't want to hear the news

[Verse 3]

She packed her bags

And with a Wyomie County real estate man

She ran down to Tampa

In an Eldorado Grand

She wrote back, "Dear mama

Life is just heaven in the sun

From small things, mama

Big things one day come" (Alright)

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

Well, she shot him dead

On a sunny Florida road

And when they caught her all she said

Was she couldn't stand the way he drove

[Verse 4]

Back home dear Johnny

Waits for his baby's parole

He waits on the hillside

Were the Wyomie waters roll

At his feet and almost grown now

A blue-eyed daughter and a handsome son

Well, from small things, mama

Big things one day come

Yeah, from small things, mama

Big things one day come
