I'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and I'm waiting for my rocket to come
I'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and I'm waiting for my rocket

you see it started way back in nyc
when i stole my first rhyme from the m.i.c.
at a west end avenue at 63
the beginning of a leap year, february, '96
with a guitar picked up in the mix
i committed to the licks like a nickel back of tricks
well look at me now
look at me now
look at me now, now, now, now

i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket to come
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket

well you're never gonna guess
where i've been been been
and i have no regrets
that i bet my whole checking account
[ *from http://www.index-of-mp3s.com/lyric/jason-mraz/curbside-prophet-live.html ]
because it all amounts to nothing up in the end

well you can only count on the road again
we'll soon be on the radio dial
and i been payin close attention to the willie nelson style
like a band of gypsies on the highway while
i'm one man pushin' on the california skyline drive
up the coast mc brag the most
i'm pickin up my pace and makin time like space ghost
raising a toast to the highway patrol with the most
put my cruise control on coast
cuz i'm tourin' around the nation on extended vacation see
I got Elsa the dog who exceeds my limitation
i say, 'i like your style, crazy pound pup!
you need a ride? [*woof*]
well come on, girl, hop in the truck!'

i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket to come
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket
i'm just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket to come on
i'm just a curbside prophet
