HEADED FOR THE BIG TIME Lyrics by MIIKA (c) november 2025 -------- LYRICS ----- Got a suitcase full of records, and a beat-up old guitar, Rolling down the highway, chasing down a star. Mama said, “Boy, don’t lose your soul,” But I’m already gone, got places to go. Windows down, I can feel that heat, The city’s callin’, it’s got a brand new beat. I’m a runaway heart with a rhythm to find, Turn it up, baby — leave it all behind. I’m headed for the big time, Gonna shine, gonna climb. Yeah, I’m headed for the big time — This heart is mine. Got my boots on the pavement, fire in my chest, Every small-town sunset says, “Go be your best.” Radio’s hummin’, got that funk in my soul, If fame’s a fever, baby, I’m losin’ control. Ain’t no map gonna tell me where, But I’m followin’ the rhythm in the midnight air. I got love, I got groove, I got time — And a one-way ticket to the top of the line. I’m headed for the big time, Gonna shine, gonna climb. Yeah, I’m headed for the big time — This heart is mine. Oh, I ain’t afraid to fall — ‘Cause every fall is just another call. If the world don’t spin my song, I’ll make my own and sing it all night long! Uh! Shake it up, now, Turn that groove around. Got my mojo workin’, And I’m leavin’ this town! Headed for the big time, Gonna shine, gonna climb. Yeah, I’m headed for the big time — This heart is mine. I said, I’m never comin’ down… No, I’m never comin’ down… Headed for the big time — yeah, yeah.
