Big Fish by J.L Herrmann

Big Fish June/July 2011 - Jim Herrmann & Anne Lamoy
Verses
Started out this life working in the fields
Driving a mule team behind a mop board plow
Dreaming ‘bout them bright lights in big cities far away
Wondering 'bout a bigger life somehow
I Left home to see the world out there beyond
Didn’t take to long, to see where I belonged

Chorus
I'll be a big fish in my little pond
I’m gonna stay here right where I belong
I'll follow my heart, it'll never steer me wrong
I’ll be a big fish in my little pond

I left the Navy far behind for my high school gal
The best woman that a guy could hope to find
Started up a farm with a rodeo milk cow,
a dozen hens and a chicken-eating sow
Along came a family that still makes us proud
We're growing together in our little town

Chorus

Bridge

My farm ain’t the biggest my brood numbers only five
Through drought and hail, shady bankers, prices falling before my eyes
My wife and I built this farm, the envy of all around
Dust pneumonia, broken arms they never slowed me down
'Cuz I didn't doubt where I belong
I didn't doubt where I belong
To be a big fish in my little pond
To be a big fish in my little pond

Looking out from my back porch, proud of where I've been
Happy with where I am now
Wouldn't trade a minute for life in a bigger pond
Cuz I never doubted just where I belong

Chorus
I'm a big fish in my little pond
I stayed here right where I belong
I followed my heart, and it didn't steer me wrong
Now I'm a big fish in my little pond
Now I'm a big fish in my little pond
Now I'm a big fish in my little pond
Now I'm a big fish in my little pond
