Takin' up Space Lyrics

That Friday night seemed just like any other Friday night
Jimmy wasn't gonna play
Sittin' on the bench chompin' at the bit, knowin' he was better
Five, six, goin' on 6AA 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, stay in your ground
If you can't run with the big dogs, big dog
Let me walk you outIf you can't lead, let me buy you
If you won't follow, get out the way
You're takin' up spaceShelly had her daddy's money waitin'
All she had to do was share his chair
She had a dream that he didn't wanna chase her
She was a night-school millionaireShe worked two jobs to pay her way
Stayed up late to make the grade
Graduated, super-cool hearted
PhD the hard wayIf you're gonna go, go all the way

If you're gonna stay, stay in your ground
If you can't run with the big dogs, big dog
Let me walk you outIf you can't lead, let me buy you
If you won't follow, get out the way
You're takin' up spaceLife's too short to live in caution
Life's too long not to live it allOh, if you're gonna go, go all the way
If you're gonna stay, stay in your ground
If you can't run with the big dogs, big dog
Let me walk you outIf you can't lead, let me buy you
If you won't follow, get out the way
You're takin' up spaceOh, you're takin' up space
Get out the way
