'Catch the next rocket out of town' borrowed
(from Clay Williams)
You come around like you've done before
Knock knock knock'in upon my door
Lights are out... you're all alone...
Knock yourself out 'cause nobody's home
You've got something to say something I need to see
But what yah don't know won't hurt me
It's too late to make me listen
I just caught the boat you're miss'n
...and Since you've been gone
I've touched the star that you wish on...
Make a dream come true
The one I couldn't dream with you
Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone
I knew how to give when you were give'n up
'cause girl I was there to fill your cup
All the nights... phone didn't ring
you had it all I had nothing
And now you're coming around saying you want me back
You're like a freight train screaming down a one way track
I gave you space you didn't come down
I think it's time to take a rocket out of town
...'so Catch the next rocket out of town
Catch the next rocket out of town'
