about

Blame Sally recorded a groovy, slinky version of Big Big Bed on their current album, Speeding Ticket and a Valentine. We love their version. This is the original, as recorded by the San Francisco 1990s band Me Jane, including Jane Selkye, Chris Kee, Michael Ross, Chris Barnett, Fred Hyer, Adam LeVasseur, and Robin Roth.

Blame Sally's version won an Independent Music Award for best Alt. Country song.

I really have an aunt in Amarillo Texas. Her name is Zonelle.

lyrics

I need a big, big bed
To save the dreams that I've dreamt
Catch them in this linen net
and keep them so I don't forget.

I've seen my auntie's bed, she lives in Amarillo,
There's room to lie down, but there ain't no room to spare
So Auntie's dreams rolled to the floor and got lost in the night.
I don't believe her when she says she don't mind.

Better make my ceilings high
And keep the windows open deep into the night
Because I'll float up and cast off the sheets
And drift into the midnight trees.

When he's here, my bed's going to have to be bigger.
'Cause my love runs wide, my love runs wider than a Texas river.

I want the whole cake
I won't settle for the crumbs
Give me room to the side
and room up above because
I'm in such a big, big love
It's just too big to fall out of!

When he's here, my bed's going to have to be bigger.
'Cause my love runs wide, my love runs wider than a Texas river.
