Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers — Something Big

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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? [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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" [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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
