《The Rocket That Grandpa Rode》歌词

[00:00:00] The Rocket That Grandpa Rode - Jimmy Buffett

[00:00:17] There's an old Gypsy Moth

[00:00:20] Made of glue and cloth

[00:00:22] That lands in a horse filled field

[00:00:26] An unusual event for those palomino gents

[00:00:31] Who just stared at their future revealed

[00:00:38] Why oh why oh did he fly out of Ohio

[00:00:43] Before we knew that genes held the code

[00:00:47] But taking to wing is a haunting daunting thing

[00:00:52] Just like that rocket Grandpa rode

[00:00:57] Yeah it was the rocket that Grandpa rode

[00:01:01] Sounds like braggin' but it's true

[00:01:03] I'm not tryin' to big-time you

[00:01:05] Shot up into space and he said look out down below

[00:01:10] Gotta love that rocket that Grandpa rode

[00:01:14] And the kids turned to flying machines

[00:01:19] With their arms open wide like wings

[00:01:23] But one solitary boy knows a plane is not a toy

[00:01:28] I'm talkin' 'bout

[00:01:31] The Man on the Moon

[00:01:37] I still remember July '69

[00:01:41] We all got to stay home from school

[00:01:46] In stark black and white we followed the flight

[00:01:50] And the whole world was in that capsule

[00:01:55] Oh on the rocket that Grandpa rode

[00:01:59] Sounds like braggin' but it's true

[00:02:02] I'm not tryin' to big-time you

[00:02:04] Oh what a flight you'd better look out down below

[00:02:09] Yeah that's the rocket that Grandpa rode

[00:02:19] Spacemen and women on this bus

[00:02:22] An obese driver I don't trust

[00:02:25] We're goin' to watch the shuttle fly away – last day

[00:02:28] And for some kids behind my seat

[00:02:31] There's a very special treat

[00:02:33] More than just history on parade

[00:02:38] Giant nozzles bolts and beams

[00:02:40] They called her Atlas by all means

[00:02:42] Blood sweat and tears were her payload

[00:02:47] She was a stairway to heaven

[00:02:49] Old Apollo 11

[00:02:52] The rocket ship their Grandpa drove

[00:02:57] Yeah on the rocket that Grandpa rode

[00:02:59] Sounds like braggin' but it's true

[00:03:03] I'm not tryin' to big-time you

[00:03:05] Rising up from that lagoon

[00:03:07] We beat those Commies to the moon

[00:03:11] Yeah on the rocket their Grandpa rode

[00:03:16] Yeah on the rocket their Grandpa drove

[00:03:22] Thank you Neil

[00:03:25] Thank you NASA

[00:03:29] Thank you Captain Kirk and Mr Spock

[00:03:33] And Scotty and Lieutenant Uhura and Chekov

[00:03:39] Yeah the rocket that Grandpa rode
