Bottle Rocket

Well he lived his life like a bottle rocket
 can't you hear him call
 Well he lived his life like a bottle rocket
 short fuse an' all
 Well once he's lit you just can't stop it
 that aint his fault
 Well he lived his life like a bottle rocket
 destined to fall back down to earth with some big plan
 or blow up in your hand
 or fizzle out, and never leave the ground
 Well he lived his life like a rolling thunder
 rumblin' along
 Well he lived his life like a rolling thunder
 clappin' to this song
 Well he spits out rain an' bolts of lightnin'
 every time he talks
 Well he lived his life like a rolling thunder
 tremble when he walks
 but there's no need to hide your head
 leave it tucked between your legs
 if he wanted to, he could take us all
 Well that bottle rocket's laid out waitin'
 Well that rolling thunder keeps on shakin'
 Well that levee it was built for breakin'
 Well he's here an' now he's gone
 Well he lived his life like a levee breakin'
 water rushin' in
 Well he lived his life like a levee breakin'
 fillin' to the brim
 Well do not go that water's risin'
 look for higher ground
 Well he lived his life like a levee breakin'
 swallow up that town
 Well there's no need to look back
 keep your memories intact
 Just follow him, and he'll take you there
 (Well he's here and he's gone)
 Well that bottle rocket's laid out waitin'
 (Well he's here and he's gone)
 Well that rolling thunder keeps on shakin'
 (Well he's here and he's gone)
 Well that levee it was built for breakin'
 Well he's here, an' now he's gone
 (Solo)
 Well he lived his life like a bottle rocket
 Well he lived his life like a bottle rocket
 Well he lived his life like a bottle rocket
 can't you hear him call
 Well he lived his life like a bottle rocket
 short fuse an' all
 Well once he's lit you just can't stop it
 that aint his fault
 Well he lived his life like a bottle rocket
 destined to fall back down to earth with some big plan
 or blow up in your hand
 or fizzle out, and never leave the ground
 (Well he's here and he's gone)
 Well that bottle rocket's laid out waitin'
 (Well he's here and he's gone)
 Well that rolling thunder keeps on shakin'
 (Well he's here and he's gone)
 Well that levee it was built for breakin'
 (Well he's here and he's gone)
 Well that bottle rocket's laid out waitin'
 (Well he's here and he's gone)
 Well that rolling thunder keeps on shakin'
 (Well he's here and he's gone)
 Well that levee it was built for breakin'
