Jason Mraz - Curbside Prophet Lyrics
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
y’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 bag 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, ya'll
well you’re never gonna guess
where i’ve been been been
and i have no regrets
that i bet my whole checking account
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 I brag and I boast
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's 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, ya'll
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
with my hand in my pocket
and i'm waiting for my rocket, ya'll
see i'm a down home brother, redneck undercover
with my guitar here
i'm ready to play
and i'm s a sucker for a filly
got a natural ability I'm geared to freestyle
look at my flexibility
dangerous at the mike
my ghetto hat's cocked right
the ladies say, "yo, that kid is crazy"
the backstage betties taking more than they can get
they say, "what's up with m-r-a-z?"
hey, hey, something's different in my world today
well they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow
hey, hey, something's different in my world today
they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow
i'm just a curbside prophet
curbside prophet now
curbside prophet now
curbside
come on, now
curbside prohet
waiting for my rocket to come...

Would have loved this song except for that damn banjo! Why a banjo and not...a ukelele? Or something?
Eryn X I think the banjo makes it!!
@maridepp53 get off your high horse this music is talent and s combo of great instruments and a great lyrical sense

Absolutely Excellent.
He went in tho
He went in tho
"Whats up with M r aaazzeee" ! :) -My favorite line !
This was always one of my favorites :)
Mraz needs to go back to making songs like this
ray cohb I agree, this album was immense. Fell into by mistake, was playing in a pub I happened to drinking in on one afternoon
Where is he now?
ray cohb Love it, so upbeat and happy.
He did!!!!
I still think that "hand in my pocket and im waiting for my rocket to come" is a masturbation reference lol
Kirk Brown I thought it was.
It obviously is. Double entendres for the win!
I grew up on this
my 7 y/o son is showing signs of wanting to rap.. so. I will start with YOU...
How's he doing
My boy friend showed me this song and I was like crazi!!!!!!!
*dancin*
YEHHHH !!!!! JASON NMRAZ
I agree with Francisco, Sublimes awesome, but Jason is the atom bomb. Very talented, good buds with Jack Johnson. Check out his music...written I'm talking. I can't even attempt to play his shi...skills.
debate.
Love ya Jason Mraz!
They are both good artists? I don't see why you would compare eachother anyway..
Is it really necessary to divide? :)
Sublime aint got shit on jason mraz :D
Love love love love Jason Mraz forever!!!!
.....HOLY SH*T. CANNOT UNSEE.
haha :)
naw shucks. haha :)
Fact: your pic makes it even more likeble :)
"Hand in my pocket and I'm waiting for my rocket to come"
OHOHHO I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE MRAZ
reminds me of falling asleep to this as a kid
Been a long time since i''ve heard this, i miss this music, don't like ''i wont give up'' liked him alot better years ago
this reminds me when i was 18 years old! time passes by at a a BLAZING SPEED lol
Sublime was awesome. Jason is interesting. pretty good or at least this song is pretty good.
I love this freaking song!!!
When you hear something dirty- it's not what they said, it's what you heard.
*No offense I thought of the perv. meaning too!
Hand in my pocket waiting for my rocket to come?...what a pervert
LOVEEE IIITTT
"Im a curbside prophet with my hand in my puppet"
this.song.is.boss
the bomb diggity
the bomb.com
How could anyone not like this?!
I tried to do karaoke to this song...BIG mistake. I had no idea what I was doing...this cat has some mad skills.
23 people dont exsist within the correct exsistance.
Man I haven't heard this song in forever.
Amazing how he takes music and just makes it a hell of alot better.
"Hell YEAH!!" was my first reaction on this song ;).
@whenchachais13 Jason does is better than Amy did, in my opinion.
Memorized :)
@IpCrackle So is Amy Winehouse.
@fitme4astr8jacket Hahaha. Funny ain't it. I think a mix of them will make an Ed Sheeran... =))
@TheRealJenny4001 ...LOL
They changed my trafic signs to a brighter yellow.... pure genius:)
@fitme4astr8jacket Totally. Some of their songs are so alike. It would be epic.
Mr. A-Z and The Mayer should do a single together! Thumbs if you agree!
This song.... changed my whole mood:) made me have a happy outlook on life... Don't you love that? one song can change your whole mood :)
He's just a curbside prophet...
Fact: Mr. A to Z brought back scat.
(i think jason would use that line in a song lol)
@Beatles4eva3 I'd say Bruno Mars is dirtier than Jason Mraz. I like both of them, but Jason Mraz is better
@Namorinha i hate Bruno Mars, he's like the new, wannabe version of Jason Mraz. Im Jason all the way!!
it's the best
this song always plays on my MP3 every time i walk on the sidewalk
Voice so soothing. mmmmmmmm
Takes away all my troubles
@basura0918 first of all, jason is a guy.
I'm just a curbside prophet
So weird, I remember when the traffic signs changed to that bright neon yellow. I was driving along one day about a month after I got my license, and I was like, "Wait... WHAT THE F*#% IS THIS?!?!?!"
@carmetorito
Just before people started going crazy over him. I think this is def in the top 3 songs of his though
here's hoping everybody's rockets get here someday
A cool geek.
I went to a mraz concert a few years back when this was his newest album... no idea he would become this famous!
Ah!! I have this album!! I guess you would call it that :) Either way, I have the CD~Love this song X3
@basura0918 Indeed, Bieber I'll vomit, Mraz I'll sing lol!
But well... yup. xD
is this like a very old song or something like that?
Just so epic
Awesome
Singer
Owns
Never sucks
Magnificent
Real
A same as first
Zebra not many words with z but he is cool u get the point
Man I can't wait til he comes out with a new album. Mr. A-Z FTW! He just rocks. Period.
@littlewag7 lol alright, your right... He just wrote that because it sounded cool. You're an idiot.
@SmileBig100 This song is about masturbation, not an actual rocket ship. Hand is his pocket waiting for his rocket to come = masturbation.
