Rocket To Stardom

by Kris Kristofferson

from the LP.. Who's To Bless & Who's To Blame

G C

It started when the neighbours saw my fancy new T.V.

D G

That opens up the gate outside my home

C

Lets me let in anyone I really want to see

A7 D

Keep out all them other dudes I don't

C

And one by one they started commin over to the door

D G

And someone played temptation on Kazoo

C

Nelly God is naked as the day she was born

D G

It sure was all over baby blue

C

Cho.. I've got an electric eye, two big dogs & a mine field

D G

And miles & miles & miles of barbed wire fence

C

The biggest show in town is in my driveway

D G

And we ain't had a good night's sleepin' since

Orval Baker's shown us the fastest draw in town

Kora Lay is clackin on her spoons

Old Jessie's big dog sure does look dead lyin on the ground

Jessie's wife is a howlin at the moon

Charlie's ugly daughter still can't tapdance

Old Maybelle Thatcher's walkin on her hands

Just as I was leavin' for the kitchen for a snack

Old Lula Belle Amazed us with her fan

Cho..

Prony's got an act that's hard to follow

Old Norman plays a nimble tamborine

You should see what Sarah Lee can swallow

Tho Billy does a wicked Mr. Clean

Good Lord if I'd have know this future when I started

Believe you me I'd never change a thing

I've got a closed circuit circus in my bedroom

And a world full of wacos in the wing (Get em Bert)

Cho..

Hey Kris, Hey Kris, hey Kris you gotta meet my cousin

He does impressions, look he's here, look he's here

Don't he look like Peter Lori, Do Kirk Douglas, Do Kirk Douglas

Judy, Judy, Judy
