Back street fight is looking for trouble If you open your mouth You're bound to rumble Johnny looks tough He's froze in the eyes He keeps his mouth shut He don't tell no lies Johhny went out last night Got in a barroom fight Embarrassed a jealous man in front of his cheatin' wife The man said "Tonight you won But I tell you son This one's far from over" Johnny said... Big talk is just cheap talk unless Unless you're backin' it up Big talk is cheap talk Only words Unless you're backin' it up Backin' it up I don't know why some men lay down and die Don't they believe in what they are sayin' You should get on your fee Believe you can't be beat Remember talk is only playin' Big talk is just cheap talk unless Unless you're backin' it up Big talk is cheap talk Only words Unless you're backin' it up Backin' it up I remember what my old man used to say WE'RE BACKIN' IT UP Never give up and run WE'RE BACKIN' IT UP Don't let the talkin' breeze blow you away Always remember Stick to your guns
