about

Blues Rock n' Rap, slide guitar, blues organ. Each verse is a different progression. Theme: Not everyone in life get's to ride in a spaceship - not everyone gets to the top in their field or in their life, you have to be happy with the ship you're in, build your own spaceship, you don't need nobody's idea of success or happiness.

lyrics

Spaceship

I saw this guy down in New Orleans
Play the trumpet like great grandpa Louie

Teaching kids in the day
At night he blows away
In the Dragon’s Den down on Frenchman St

I say how come nobody knows your name
How long you been playing on this same old strip?
Playing for tips, well he just turned to me and said


Pass me my beer, listen here
This is my home, I embrace it
One thing in life is for sure (let’s face it)
We don’t all get to ride in the spaceship
We don’t all get to ride in the Spaceship


Well his words were strong
And me, I keep having this same damn dream
Where get to the show, I'm ready to rock but the set up takes too long
So I miss my spot and ohhhh I'm just standing up there on stage

Tryin to be brave, can’t wait to play but I’m tryin to plug everything in, tune up and begin
It gets too late

[Chorus]

Our minds have been co opted
Seems no one is satisfied
Unless they’re number one higher than anyone
But this guy
Was just happy doing his thing
In his little space in music
He was the king

[chorus breakdown]
So I build my own spaceship
Don’t need nobody’s idea of success
Don’t need nobody’s idea of happiness
