The Rocket That Grandpa Rode

The Rocket That Grandpa Rode - Jimmy Buffett

.

There's an old Gypsy Moth

Made of glue and cloth

That lands in a horse filled field

An unusual event for those palomino gents

Who just stared at their future revealed

.

Why oh why oh did he fly out of Ohio

Before we knew that genes held the code

But taking to wing, is a haunting, daunting thing

Just like that rocket Grandpa rode

.

Yeah, it was the rocket that Grandpa rode

Sounds like braggin' but it's true

I'm not tryin' to big-time you

Shot up into space and he said look out down below

Gotta love that rocket that Grandpa rode

.

And the kids turned to flying machines

With their arms open wide like wings

But one solitary boy knows a plane is not a toy

I'm talkin' 'bout

The Man on the Moon

.

I still remember July '69

We all got to stay home from school

In stark black and white we followed the flight

And the whole world was in that capsule

.

Oh, on the rocket that Grandpa rode

Sounds like braggin' but it's true

I'm not tryin' to big-time you

Oh what a flight you'd better look out down below
