Rocket To Stardom Lyrics - Singles - Kris Kristofferson

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

That opens up the gate outside my home 

And let's me let in anyone I really want to see 

And keep out all them other dudes I don't 

Then one by one they started comin' over to perform 

And someone played "Temptation" on kazoo 

Nellie got as naked as the day that she was born 

And it sure was all over Baby Blue 

[Chorus:] 

I've got electric eyes, two big dogs, and a mine-field 

And miles and miles, and miles of barbed-wire fence 

But the biggest show in town is in my driveway 

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

Orville Baker's showin' us the fastest draw in town 

Cora Lee's clackin' on her spoons 

Ol' Jesse's trick dog sure does look dead lyin' on the ground 

And Jesse's wife is a-howlin' at the moon 

Charly's ugly daughter sure can tap dance 

Mable Thatcher's walkin' on her hands 

And just as I was leavin' for the kitchen for a snack 

Ol' Lulla Bell amazed us with her fans 

[Chorus] 

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

Norman plays a nimble tamborine 

You should see what Sara Lee can swallow 

And ol' Billy does a wicked "Mr. Clean"

Good Lord, if I'd've known this future when I started 

Believe you me, I'd never change a thing 

I got a closed circuit circus in my bedroom 

And a world full of whackos in the wings 

Get 'em Burt! 

[Chorus]
