Jason Mraz - Curbside Prophet - Eagles Ballroom Album Live Version Lyrics

Lyrics Curbside Prophet - Eagles Ballroom Album Live Version - Jason Mraz

I'm just a curbside prophet

With my hand in my pocket

And I'm waiting for my rocket to come

I'm just a curbside prophet

With my hand in my pocket

And I'm waiting for my rocket, ya'll

Y'see it started way back in NYC

When I stole my first rhyme from the M.I.C.

At a west end avenue at 63

The beginning of a leap year, February, '96

With a guitar picked up in the mix

I committed to the licks like a nickel bag of tricks

Well look at me now

Look at me now

Look at me now, now, now, now

I'm just a curbside prophet

With my hand in my pocket

And I'm waiting for my rocket to come

I'm just a curbside prophet

With my hand in my pocket

And I'm waiting for my rocket, ya'll

Well you're never gonna guess

Where I've been been been

And I have no regrets

That I bet my whole checking account

Because it all amounts to nothing up in the end

Well you can only count on the road again

We'll soon be on the radio dial

And i been payin' close attention to the Willie Nelson style

Like a band of gypsies on the highway while

I'm one man pushin' on the Milwaukee skyline drive

Up the coast I brag and I boast

I 'm pickin' up my pace and makin' time like space ghost

Raising a toast to the highway patrol with the most

Put my cruise control's on coast

I'm tourin' around the nation on extended vacation see

I got papa the dog he's exceededing my limitations

I say, "i like your style, crazy pound pup!

You need a ride?

Well come on, boy, get in the truck!"

I'm just a curbside prophet

With my hand in my pocket

And I'm waiting for my rocket to come

I'm just a curbside prophet

With my hand in my pocket

And I'm waiting for my rocket, ya'll

I'm just a curbside prophet

With my hand in my pocket

And I'm waiting for my rocket to come on

I'm just a curbside prophet

With my hand in my pocket

And I'm waiting for my rocket, ya'll

i relax with a 3rd verse without even rehearsing lacing up my converse and conjugatin' a verse you know its always been my thing you know for better or worse to be a singer who's going around the universe now you're speaking on the topic of a curbside prophet everybody come to me they ask me how they can unlock it and i say "shiz, if this is all they is, its just filling in the blanks like mad libs!"
