BIGGER MAN

Takes a bigger man to stand by his woman
When her heels stand taller than his boots,
Takes a bigger man to stand by his woman
When her dress shines brighter than his suit.

And when they’ve all gone home
And the stage is clear
There’s only one that I want here
You know I’d give it all up, all the fortune and the fame
If you would just, just say you’ll stay….

Takes a bigger man to stay and hold you
When everyone else walks away
Takes a bigger man to say “I still love you”
When no one else says the same.

And when they’ve all gone home
And the stage is clear
There’s only one that I want here
You know I’d give it all up, all the fortune and the fame
If you would just, just say you’ll stay….

You say, “you’re too to hold, too far to see,
That I don’t know anymore who you are to me”.
And you say, “I can’t catch up with you,
I can’t run anymore. I’m all worn through”.

Takes a bigger man to stand by his woman
When her heels have grown taller than his boots.
