Lyrics

My working days are over
I’m done playing by the rules
No more running on the wheel of fortune
No more running like a fool
I saved a lot of silver
Went looking for a pot gold
Found my way to something fine
Something I couldn’t hold
Tie me down to the cannonball
Shoot me right out into space
Cut me loose, in the starshine
Let me fade away
My dreams could have filled the oceans
But I never could leave this one-horse town
I feel my feet lift off the ground
T minus zero hour
Tie me down to the cannonball
Shoot me right out into space
Cut me loose, in the starshine
Let me fade away
Tie me down to the cannonball
Shoot me right out into space
Cut me loose, in the starshine
Let me fade away
Let me fade away
Let me fade away
