"Benny" lyrics

Benny's in the backyard building a rocket
Shaping his dreams with a wrench and a socket
Mama's calling supper, but he ain't gonna stop 'til it's done
No, no

Oh, tired of this small-town point of view
Sky is the limit, he's got nothing to lose
Lighting the fuse and pointing it right at the sun

Look at him go, he's already gone
Look at him go, straight for the sun
A rocket halfway to heaven
'Cause that's where he's headed
Calling on the radio
Look at him go, he's a wild, wild soul
And he ain't coming home

Oh, maybe it's a part of a bigger plan
One minute got you flying and you think you're the man
You gotta figure 'til you don't understand it all
Oh, Benny was gone long before he left
Traveling the galaxy he saw in his head
Now he's leaving his mark with a light that he sheds over us

Look at him go, he's already gone
Look at him go, straight for the sun
A rocket halfway to heaven
'Cause that's where he's headed
Calling on the radio
Look at him go, he's a wild, wild soul
And he ain't coming home

Benny's in the backyard building a rocket
Shaping his dreams with a wrench and a socket
If only we knew how high he'd fly in the end
