From Small Things Big Things One Day Come lyrics

At 16 she quit high school
To make a fortune in the promise land
Got a job behind the counter
Of an all-night hamburger stand
She wrote 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
As 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 a hillside
Where little feet once had run
From small things, mama, big things one day come.

Good love is fleeting,
It`s sad but it`s true
But when your heart is bleeding,
You don`t wanna hear the news

She packed her bags; went to wyoming with a real estate man
They drove down to tampa in an el dorado grande
She writes home `dear mama, life is heaven in the sun`
From small things, mama, big things one day come

She shot him dead
On a sunny florida road,
But when they caught her asll she said was
She couldn`t stand the way he drove.
Back home, lonesome johnny
Waits for his baby`s parole;
He sits high up on a hillside,
Where the wyoming river flows.
At his feet, and almost grown now,
Sits a daughter and a handsome son.
From small things, mama, big things one day come
