Get a Bigger Pan--Lyrics

By Karen Taylor-Good and Lisa Aschmann

VERSE I was standing by this fisherman, out there on the bridge. He bagged small one after small one, put ‘em in his little fridge. Then he caught himself a whopper and I watched him throw it back. I couldn’t help but ask him, “Hey man, why’d you do that?” He pulled out his little skillet and said, “See, it wouldn’t fit.” I was none of my business but I couldn’t help but wish

CHORUS He’d get a bigger pan, get a bigger pan. When you’ve got big dreams, for heaven’s sake Don’t throw those dreams back in the lake. It’s not that you can’t have it all. You’ve just been dreaming way too small! Get a bigger pan, get a bigger pan.

VERSE I’ve been thinking like that fisherman more times than I can count. Every time I felt unworthy I ran myself down. I’d get afraid and wouldn’t play what I had there on the line. Thinking that the big fish wouldn’t possibly be mine. But there’s another fish to fry and there’s another day. Next time I hook the big one I won’t let him get away.

CHORUS I’ll get a bigger pan, get a bigger pan. ‘Cause I’ve got big dreams, for heaven’s sake Won’t throw those dreams back in the lake. It’s not that I can’t have it all. I’ve just been dreaming way too small! Get a bigger pan, get a bigger pan. Uh-huh!

BRIDGE Okay, okay, I’ve got it figured out For self-esteem as well as dreams and trout.

CHORUS Get a bigger pan, get a bigger pan. When you’ve got big dreams, for heaven’s sake Don’t throw those dreams back in the lake. It’s not that you can’t have it all. You’ve just been dreaming way too small! So get a bigger pan, get a bigger pan. Get a bigger pan, get a bigger pan.

Get the biggest, get the biggest. Get a bigger pan.
