Big Man
Lyrics By Jeff Mondak

First Verse
In a rusty van he made his plan
For robbing liquor stores
He'd steal a ride and then to hide
He'd head for distant shores
He'd prob'ly go to Mexico
A rebel on the run
He'd be charming to the ladies
And deadly with a gun

Chorus
He was gonna be a big man, big man
Johnny Foster, he's the one
Thought he'd be a big man, big man
Ruthless rebel on the run
Ruthless rebel on the run

Instrumental

Second Verse
They'd see his eyes and realize
That Johnny played to win
Too tough to fight so don't ignite
This legend born of sin
His gun would flash, he'd grab the cash
And no one better speak
He'd take the first on Friday night
And six within a week

Chorus
He was gonna be a big man, big man
Johnny Foster, he's the one
Thought he'd be a big man, big man
Ruthless rebel on the run
Ruthless rebel on the run

Third Verse
The Sanders' store was number four
He hit it Wednesday night
Just two more days to show crime pays
Yeah, Mexico's in sight
The owner's son pulled out his gun
Then Johnny was no more
A minute blurb on Channel Six
Tape outline on the floor

Ending Chorus
He was gonna be a big man, big man
Johnny Foster, he's the one
Thought he'd be a big man, big man
Ruthless rebel on the run
Ruthless rebel on the run
Johnny Foster, now he's gone
