Song Lyrics

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
He was a welder, just like you
I love the ocean in Miami
I've never seen anything quite so blue"

[Chorus]
And I'd say
"Hey Where are 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 outta here
Fly me around this world
Rocket girl"

She said "have you ever been to Alberta?
Wheat fields as far as you could see
Have you ever seen the prairies?
Someday I'll take you there with me"

[Chorus]

I 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 are 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 outta here
Fly me around this world"
