Lyrics
Big Rocket
Chorus
I’ll tie myself to a big rocket
Gonna do it before I get old
Shoot myself over the rainbow
I gotta find that big pot of gold
I ain’t got the time to work on this day job
I can’t live on minimum wage
I think it’s time to write a new story
Open a new book, start a new page
I can’t wait no more watching my front door
For Dick and Ed to bring me a check
When I go out I’ll carry my cell phone
Why, they can even call me collect
Chorus
I’ve got a pocket full of lottery tickets
A four-leaf clover inside my shoe
My lucky rabbit’s foot hung on my key ring
My time for winning’s way overdue
It’s time I found my own fame and fortune
Gonna do it, beg, borrow or steal
I hope the Devil’s wearing his beeper
I’ll call him up, say “Let’s make a deal”
Chorus
I ain’t got the time to work on this day job
I can’t live on minimum wage
I think it’s time to write a new story
Open a new book, start a new page
Chorus
