Great Big World - Blues Traveler

Gauntlets

Thrown one by one

See how they run

When the check doesn’t clear

And it’s time to pay the bill

Some are gonna ride it out

Some can’t and they never will

'Cause it’s a great big world calling you to take a ride

And it’s a great big world singing «come and see and come inside»

Oh yeah, a great big world reminding you you’re not alone

So hold on this great big world we only get to rent, we never get to own

Inches fill a yard stick

Feet slowly walk a mile

Make one move then another

And then you try to live a while

Keep your head and you might make it

But that ain’t no guarantee

'Cause it takes debt and obligation

To fly around so free

And it’s a great big world calling you to take a ride

And it’s a great big world singing «come and see and come inside»

Oh yeah, a great big world reminding you you’re not alone

So hold on this great big world we only get to rent, we never get to own

Whatcha gonna do first?

And where will you make your mark?

How are you going to get there?

And can you find a place to park?

Seasons coming slowly

But still they always come

And then it feels like just a second

And then suddenly you’re done

And it’s a great big world reminding you you’re not alone

And it’s a great big world we only get to rent, we never get to own

'Cause it’s a great big world calling you to take a ride

And it’s a great big world singing «come and see and come inside»

Oh yeah, a great big world reminding you you’re not alone

So hold on this great big world we only get to rent, we never get to own
