Song #4: Bombs Away
Click Here to download MP3 demo here
This is one of those old songs that's been sitting around for awhile that I never finished. I'm just curious to hear opinions on it. I like playing it with a loud, obnoxious band that rocks out. I think we played it with a version of the Candles once at Russian Jack Springs but I never finished it and we never played it again. The song is about being cool, even when everyday life tries to get you down. It's about having fun and laughing in the face of your problems.
Bombs Away
Words and Music by Matt Hopper
Take me out of the ballgame
I知 done put me in Hollywood
I値l act, like I could care less
My life feels like the biggest mess
At least I have my right mind
And I知 young I still have lots of time
But I know the bills will get higher
I知 riding it down to the wire
I could run away like I知 on fire
Screaming my head off
Stopping, dropping, rolling
Maybe I could pretend that I知 crazy
But all my problems will be there in the morning.
So tonight I知 gonna dance
Bombs away, we池e here to stay
I値l put on my party dress and
Drink all night
Until the morning comes and I知 allright
I値l sleep all day
Sometimes I wish I had a hand to get my through
And my friend says you do you do you do
He痴 there with a bottle of Jim Beam
You, me and the bottle are such a team
I could run away like I知 on fire
Screaming my head off
Stopping, dropping, rolling
Maybe I could pretend that I知 crazy
But all my problems will be there in the morning.
So tonight I知 gonna dance
Bombs away, we池e here to stay
I値l put on my party dress and
Drink all night
Until the morning comes and I知 allright
I値l sleep all day
