lyrics

I'm still at the park when the sun goes down
See all my friends in their cages
There ain't much better to do in this town
History books missing pages

I've been riding the bench for three series now
I still don't believe when they pinch me
Twenty-seven's too old to get pushed back down
But you know that I'll go where they send me

Someday I'll be an Angel
But for now they fly too high
I'll get called up when they need me
When I've fixed my wandering eyes
In Rocket City
Here in Rocket City
In Rocket City
Here in Rocket City

I've slept on the bus the last thirteen days
It's free and I need that per diem
I've heard things will be better in triple A
Good days are ahead should I see 'em

We got a new guy coming down from the bigs
He went 0 for 10, now it's over
He taught me some tweaks, but we'll see if it sticks
Or if I'm still here in October

Someday I'll be an Angel
But for now they fly too high
I'll get called up when they need me
But for now, I'm just some guy
In Rocket City
Here in Rocket City
In Rocket City
Here in Rocket City

And oh, I think that it's over
And oh, I don't want it to be over
And oh, I think that it's over
Cause I'm only getting older
And oh, I think that it's over
Oh, I don't want it to be over
And oh, I think that it's over
Cause I'm only getting older

In Rocket City
Here in Rocket City
In Rocket City
Here in Rocket City
Someday I'll be an Angel
But for now they fly too high
I'll get called up when they need me
When I've fixed my wandering eyes
In Rocket City
Here in Rocket City
In Rocket City
Here in Rocket City

CD Barnes Washington, D.C.

CD Barnes is a Virginia-based songwriter with the heart of a novelist. His songs are vignettes, revealing a moment or a lifetime.
His newest album, “Rocket City”, pares back the instrumentation to let the songwriting take the spotlight. The songs are happy and sad, adoring and pensive, hopeful and regretful, and all featuring Barnes’ baritone voice and a Lazarus of a Martin 000. ... more
