Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one
[Verse 1]
D
I'm gonna take a trip on a rocketship
A
I'm gonna blast outta here about noon
To get away from it all
D
I'm gonna have a ball on the backside of the moon
I'm gonna build a shack
G
I ain't a-comin' back to the place I came from
Well, it's just like this
D A D
I'll either hit or miss, and have a hard time on the sun
[Verse 2]
D
Either way it'll be, you can take it from me
A
I'm gonna have a real big time
I'm on a one way track, I ain't a-comin' back
D
'Cause I'm a-goin' to the end of the line
Now here's a tip, why I'm takin' this trip
G
I wanna get satisfied
D
I wanna live it up, I wanna rock it up
A D
And get out of this world alive
