Caught in the crossfire while the battle raged down the hall There were no bad guys, just a couple consenting adults I just had to get away, but I had no car to drive So my body stayed inside my room As I slipped into my mind I'm going out where no one can find me Beyond this thickened air, where my spirit is free I'm blasting off with a strum of my six string Six String Rocketeer Well, my getaway car is this beat up guitar And I'm off, I'm off to that place Where I find my escape Life as it happens is rarely the way that you planned Roll with the punches or you'll end up a mad, little man A broken home was not the place they intended this to end But the wounds were deep inside my soul Let the healing begin I'm going out where no one can find me Beyond this thickened air, where my spirit is free I'm blasting off with a strum of my six string
Six String Rocketeer Well, my getaway car is this beat up guitar And I'm off, I'm off to that place Where I find my escape I step on board as commander in chief With Sgt.

I inquire As Julio swoops down by the schoolyard There my soul was as light as a feather As the Piano Man had us all singing together I'm going out where no one can find me Beyond this thickened air, where my spirit is free I'm blasting off with a strum of my six string Six String Rocketeer Well, my getaway car is this beat up guitar And I'm off, I'm off to that place Where I find my escape
