Tom Petty, The Heartbreakers - Something Big lyrics

It didn't feel like Sunday
Didn't feel like June
When he met his silent partner
In that lonely corner room
That over looked the marquee
Of the plaza all-adult
And he was not looking for romance
Just someone he could trust

And it wasn't no way to carry on
It wasn't no way to live
But he could put up with
It for a little while
He was working on something big

Speedball rang the night clerk
Said "Send me up a drink"
The night clerk said "It's Sunday
Man, wait a minute, let me think
There's a little place outside of town
Might still have some wine"
Speedball said, "Forget it
Can I have an outside line?

And it wasn't no way to carry on
It wasn't no way to live
But he could put up with
It for a little while
He was working on something big

It was Monday when the day maids
Found the still made bed
All except the pillows that lay
Stacked up at the head
And one said, "I know I've seen his face
I wonder who he is" the other said
"It's probably just another clown
Working on something big"

And it wasn't no way to carry on
It wasn't no way to live
But he could put up with
It for a little while
He was working on something big

Yeah, and it wasn't no way to carry on
It wasn't no way to live
But he could put up with
It for a little while
He was working on something big
