Day 13: A song for an adventure

Before there was commander Cody‘s made it into hot rod Lincoln, there was this. (Which was a cover of Arkie Shibbley’s version). But this one’s my favorite.

We used to go to a lot of car shows with our Torino station wagon, we would almost always play this. Especially fun were the Ford Nationals at Carlisle, PA.

Day 13 - A song for an adventure

Some of my favorite lyrics

She packed my bags last night, pre-flight
Zero hour, 9 a.m.
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the Earth so much, I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh, no, no, no
I'm a rocket man
Rocket man
Burning out his fuse up here alone

Years ago, This American Life put together a band of struggling musicians and this was the song they did, it was a great version.
