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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Old Apollo 11[00:02:49]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you Neil[00:03:22]

Thank you NASA[00:03:25]

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

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

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