Lyrics You Ain't Big - Rufus Wainwright

You Ain't Big

You ain’t big unless you’re big in Alabama
Don’t know who you are unless you made it in Wichita
Gotta get back to Kansas
Or at least southern North Carolina
You ain’t big unless you’re big in Mississippi
Don’t know who you are unless you made it in Topeka
Gotta get back to Kansas
Or at least southern West Virginia
You ain’t big if you’re little in Texas
Don’t know who are who you are unless you made it in Lawrence, Kansas
Wait a minute, Lawrence, Kansas
Doesn’t really matter at all
You ain’t big unless you’re big in Alabama
Don’t know who you are unless you made it in Wichita
Gotta get back to Kansas
Except of course back to Lawrence
(You ain’t big unless you’re big in Alabama)
God forbid, southern Pennsylvania
God forbid, eastern California
God forbid, western New York state
