She said "I got this hat in California,
from a man on the street whose 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."

And I say, "hey where 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 are far as you can see
Have you ever seen the prairies
Someday I'll take you there with me."

And I say, "hey where 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."

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

I just say, "hey where 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." (X2)
