Frazey Ford - Firecracker Lyrics

I was a sailboat, I was a sailor
I was a son of a gun, of a gun
I made it happen, down in the school yard
I was a firecracker explodin'

Hallelujah, the sparks flew up to heaven
They saw my smile, I was laughing so hard
Hallelujah, the sparks flew up to heaven
And I left the sober people with their cold hearts

Sometimes there is someone
Someone who knows you
But when you are sad there is no one
But I'm a red bicycle
Rolling and rolling
I'm quick silver, I'm a deal maker
Don't you cross me once

Hallelujah, the sparks flew up to heaven
They saw my smile, I was laughing so hard
Hallelujah, the sparks flew up to heaven
And I left the sober people with their cold hearts

And nothing can hold me
To this earth that don't roll me
And I don't know if I'm dirty or clean
But I was a sailboat
I was a sailor and I was a firecracker explodin'

And oh why do you cry, sister cry?
I been talkin' with the angels, and it's gonna be fine
And hallelujah the sparks flew up to heaven
And I left the sober people with their cold hearts
