[E]
Santa Florida take it on a long-distance rail train
Gotta [A] [E]
jump a ride on a cattle truck and a tow train
[A] [E]
[Em] [F#] I guess it doesn't matter
[B] As long as I can get my head down in the [E] slug
I wrote a rocket song on a sing-a-night station
Finished on the world plan and reached my destination
I [F#] guess it doesn't matter
[B] As long as I can get my head down [E] in the slug
[B] [A] Hey mama, please have some [E] respect, I'm [A] no more rich
So please don't you [E] forget
Hey [A] mama, please don't get [E] upset, I'm [F#] not me
I need [B] something better
Hey [A] mama, things gonna work [E] out fine now
[A] Believe me, I need four [E] days in sight
[A] Hey mama, things gonna work [E] out fine now
[F#] I got a friend, says [B] that she'd invite me
[E] [F#] [A]
[E] [F#]
[A] I came here in the morning and I crept out in the middle of night
I see nobody walking, I was leaving out of balance of light
[B] Now I'm home again, [E] sure it's [A] feeling alright
Got a feeling that I'm leaving with a ticket and I woke up alive
Nobody's here believing that my leaving was a rocket flight
Now [B] I'm home again, [E] sure it's feeling [A] alright
