Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
You ain't big, unless you're big in Mississippi (Mississippi)
Don't know who you are, unless you made it in Topeka (Topeka)
Gotta get back to Kansas (Kansas)
Or at least Southern West (West), Virginia
[Bridge]
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, oh-oh, ooh
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo
Doo, oh, hmm-hmm
[Verse 3]
You ain't big if you're little in Texas (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
[Verse 4]
You ain't big unless you're big in Alabama (Alabama)
Don't know who you are unless you made it in Wichita (Wichita)
Gotta get back to Kansas (Kansas)
Except of course back to Lawrence
[Outro]
(You ain't big unless you're big in Alabama)
God forbid, Southern Pennsylvania
(You ain't big unless you're big in Alabama)
God forbid, Eastern California
(You ain't big unless you're big in Alabama)
God forbid, Western, New York State
