Rocket to Stardom Kris Kristofferson
by Kris Kristofferson
from the LP.. Who's To Bless & Who's To Blame
[G]It started when the neighbours saw my fan[C]cy new T.V.
That op[D]ens up the gate outside my h[G]ome
Lets me let in anyone I reall[C]y want to see
K[A7]eep out all them other dudes I d[D]on't
And one by one they started commin o[C]ver to the door
And some[D]one played temptation on Ka[G]zoo
Nelly God is naked as the d[C]ay she was born
It s[D]ure was all over baby b[G]lue
Cho.. I've got an electric eye, two big dogs & a[C] mine field
And[D] miles & miles & miles of barbed wire[G] fence
The biggest show in town is in my [C]driveway
And [D]we ain't had a good night's sleepin'[G] since
Orval Baker's shown us the fastest draw in town
Kora Lay is clackin on her spoons
Old Jessie's big dog sure does look dead lyin on the ground
Jessie's wife is a howlin at the moon
Charlie's ugly daughter still can't tapdance
Old Maybelle Thatcher's walkin on her hands
Just as I was leavin' for the kitchen for a snack
Old Lula Belle Amazed us with her fan
Cho..
Prony's got an act that's hard to follow
Old Norman plays a nimble tamborine
You should see what Sarah Lee can swallow
Tho Billy does a wicked Mr. Clean
Good Lord if I'd have know this future when I started
Believe you me I'd never change a thing
I've got a closed circuit circus in my bedroom
And a world full of wacos in the wing (Get em Bert)
Cho..
Hey Kris, Hey Kris, hey Kris you gotta meet my cousin
He does impressions, look he's here, look he's here
Don't he look like Peter Lori, Do Kirk Douglas, Do Kirk Douglas
Judy, Judy, Judy
