October sky

Well she slid down the hall in her socks and yelled
'Come outside...
No no no, nothings wrong
I just happen to have a surprise'
So we fell through the door like the autumn leaves
And I wrestled my brother down to his knees
Just to watch as her rocket shot into the
October Sky

There's a picture of us
In a layer of dust
On the mantle
Right by my cigarettes that I smoke
Since you left
Cause you said you had to fly

In your October Sky
Lada di da da da di

Now I work in the city and I blend into the crowd
And the people grieve with me since the towers came down
You could cut the pollution with a butterknife
You could wake up at 2 and then party all night
But I'm missing my momma
So I'll stand on the street and get high

There's a picture of us
Hidden in a layer of dust
On the mantle
Right by my cigarettes that I smoke
Since you left
Cause you said you had to fly

In your October Sky
La da di da da da di
La da di da da da di

And as I go back home to Memphis
I remember days that I
I was outside shooting rockets
Almost as high
In your October...
In your October...
In your October...
In your October...

In your October Sky
La da di da da da di
