From Small Things Big Things Come Lyrics

At sixteen she quit high school To make a fortune in the Promised Land She got a job behind the counter In an all-night hamburger stand She rode faithfully home to Mama Now, Mama don't you worry none From small things, Mama, big things one day come 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 up on the hillside Where little feet soon would run From small things, Mama, big things one day come Oh, but love is bleeding It's sad but it's true When your heart is beating You don't want to hear the news She packed her bags And with a Wyoming County Interstate map She drove 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 Well, she shot him dead on a sunny Florida road When they caught her all she said Was she couldn't stand the way he drove Back home lonesome Johnny waits for his baby's parole He waits high on the hillside Where the Wyoming rivers roll And his seed have almost grown now To a daughter and a handsome son From small things, Mama, big things one day come
