Rocket Girl

Well, she said, I got this hat in California

From a man on the street, his name was Joe

Have you ever been to California?

Well, you really gotta go

She said, I knew a boy down in Miami

Well, he was a welder, just like you

She said, I love the ocean in Miami

I've never seen anything quite so blue

And I say

Hey, where we going today rocket girl?

Tell me what life is like

Past that city limit sign

Dream your dreams in my ear

Baby, just get me out of here

And fly me around this world, rocket girl

She said, have you ever been to Alberta?

Wheat fields as far as you can see

Have you ever seen the prairies?

Someday I'll take you there with me

And I just say

Hey, where we going today rocket girl?

Tell me what life is like

Past that city limit sign

Dream your dreams in my ear

Baby, just get me out of here

And fly me around this world, rocket girl

I'd never tell her she's been busted

I know she's never been anywhere, just like me

But it makes her feel like Cinderella

And I get to see the world for free

(Get to see the world for free)

I just say

Hey, where we going today rocket girl?

Tell me what life is like

Past that city limit sign

Dream your dreams in my ear

Baby, just get me out of here

And fly me around this world

I just say

Hey, where we going today rocket girl?

Tell me what life is like

Past that city limit sign

Dream your dreams in my ear

Baby, just get me out of here

And fly me around this world

(Around this world)

Fly me around this world, rocket girl
