Takin' Up Space

(アルバム： Get Right With The Man - 2005)

That Friday night seemed just like any other
Friday night, Jimmy wasn't gonna play
Sitting on the bench chomping at the bit, knowing he was better
5'6", going on six eight
A man went down, Jimmy went in
Third an' long, first an' ten
Crowd went wild: "Touchdown"
Jimmy said: "I came to win"

If you're gonna go, go all the way
If you're gonna stay, stand your ground
If you can't run with the big dogs
Big dog, let me walk you out
If you can't lead, let me by you
If you won't follow, get out the way
You're taking up space

Shelly had her Daddy's money waiting
All she had to do was share his chair
She had a dream that he didn't want her chasing
She was a night-school millionaire
She worked two jobs to pay her way
Stayed up late to make the grade
Graduated, Summa Cum Laude
PhD the hard way

If you're gonna go, go all the way
If you're gonna stay, stand your ground
If you can't run with the big dogs
Big Dog, let me walk you out
If you can't lead, let me by you
If you won't follow, get out the way
You're taking up space

Life's too short to live in caution
Life's too long not to live it all

Oh, if you're gonna go, go all the way
If you're gonna stay, stand your ground
If you can't run with the big dogs
Big Dog, let me walk you out
If you can't lead, let me by you
If you won't follow, get out the way
You're taking up space
Oh, you're taking up space
