Lyrics
Rocket Boys
Explorer?s on the launch pad Sputnik already gone
Push that little red button cause now the race is on
Seven had the right stuff to take up Mercury
Von Braun built the vessels to sail uncharted seas
Kennedy pointed to the sky said we?re going to the moon
Before the decade?s out we?ll make that true
Stand on the shores of Cape Canaveral looking up to the blue
Let?s see what those rocket boys can do
Shepard took the first ride and Glenn went round the earth
Being in the new frontier felt like the day of birth
Gemini took a walk outside Saturn V stood so tall
Armstrong made the big leap for us all
The stars and stripes are hanging above the footprints on the moon
The Eagle?s landed and oh my what a view
Stand on the shores of Cape Canaveral looking up to the blue
Let?s see what those rocket boys can do
Viking crawled the red land and the shuttle took to flight
The universe can?t hide no more so ride Sally Ride
Challenger Columbia Apollo we remember you all
Sometimes when you climb so high you?ve got to take a fall
Look at the stars in the night sky I think how far we flew
All the hopes and dreams now come true
Stand on the shores of Cape Canaveral looking up to the blue
Let?s see what those rocket boys can do
There?s nothing that those rocket boys can?t do
