He's a big man, in a big house
he dreamed about a big house on a hill
Far, far away from shantytown and poverty
a kid full of dreams when he ran away
sayin' you'll be proud of me some day
When I'm a big man in a big house
With acres and acres of ground
I'll be a big man in a big house
A big high fence all around
A big high fence all around
He settled down in a great big town
But the harder he'd work,
the more he'd spend it seemed
And all his newfound friends
they made fun of him and said come along
And we'll show you how you can
You'll be a big man in a big house
With acres and acres of ground
You'll be a big man in a big house
A big high fence all around
A big high fence all around
He was just 21 when a loaded
he did something he shouldn't do
Then one rainy night the police came by
Well, the judge said, son,
there's a place for kids like you
Now he's a big man in a big house
With acres and acres of ground
Yes, he's a big man in a big house,
a big high fence all around.
A big high fence all around,
with acres and acres of ground.
A big high fence all around,
with acres and acres of ground.
