"Bottle Rocket Baby" lyrics - OLD 97'S

I've been living on a barstool laughing 'bout the war
Dallas is a woman I don't know anymore
She held me down on a hardwood floor
Last thing I remember I was walking out the door
Unemployed, downtown, working on a buzz
All my high class friends are hiding out from the fuzz
I got a resume of what never was
The good time rolls, it always does

[Chorus:]
I'm a bottle rocket, baby
I'll burn your fingers and I'll make you cry
I'm a bottle rocket, baby
I'm a bottle rocket, baby, so you better say goodbye

I've been living in a graveyard, lookin' for a light
Diggin' the vibe, staying up all night
I got the bloodsucker blues but I can't get a bite
I don't know why everybody's so uptight
Dirtweed daydream, dialin' in a J
All my high class friends are staying low all day
It's safe to say we're in a real bad way
Mama used to try, now all she does is pray

[Chorus:]
I'm a bottle rocket, baby
I'll burn your fingers and I'll make you cry
I'm a bottle rocket, baby
I'm a bottle rocket, baby, so you better say goodbye

[Bridge:]
Kerosene dynamite midnight run
My friend Robert, he's a son of a gun
If I get locked up for having too much fun
Well, he'll bail me out by a quarter to one
Yeah, he'll set me free if I pay his fee
It don't matter what I done

[Chorus:]
Yeah, I'm a bottle rocket, baby
I'll burn your fingers and I'll make you cry
I'm a bottle rocket, baby
I'm a bottle rocket, baby, so you better say goodbye
I'm a bottle rocket, baby, so you better say goodbye
I'm a bottle rocket, baby, so you better say goodbye
Woo!
