Bottle Rocket

(album: Easy - 2017)

He lived his life like a bottle rocket, can't you hear him call
He lived his life like a bottle rocket, short fuse and all
Once he's lit you just can't stop it, that ain't his fault
He lived his life like a bottle rocket, destined to fall
Back down to Earth with some big plans
He'll blow up in your hands
Or fizzle out and never leave the ground
He lived his life like a rolling thunder, rumbling along
He lived his life like a rolling thunder, clapping to this song
He spits out rain and bolts of lightning, lightning every time
He lived his life like a rolling thunder, tremble when he walks
There's no need to hide your head
Leave it tucked between your legs
If he wanted to, he could take us all
He lived his life like a levee breaking, water rushing in
He lived his life like a levee breaking, filled to the brim
Through that floor that waters rising, look for higher ground
He lived his life like a levee breaking, swallow up that town
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
That bottle rocket's lit and waiting
Well he's here
And he's gone
That rolling thunder keeps on shaking
Well he's here
And he's gone
That levee it was built for breaking
Well he's here
And he's gone
