When I was fourteen me and my old man
Went out hitchhiking to see a band
The fabulous thunderbirds with Jimmy Vaughan
And something inside my soul was born
Was it something 'bout the great unknown
Was it something 'bout the open road
Was it three chords and a heart on fire
Something 'bout walking out on the wire
Never stop building that old space rocket
Never stop building that old space rocket
Give up on the dream and you know you've lost it
Don't ever stop building that old space rocket
There was a TV film playing in the bar
About a kungfu fighter with only one arm
When his one good arm got cut clean off
He pulled the other one out from inside his top
We got a ride home in a classic car
I never knew you could get so far
With the stars in your eye and a dream in your pocket
Ain't never stop building that old space rocket
Never stop building that old space rocket
Never stop building that old space rocket
Give up on the dream and you know you've lost it
Don't ever stop building that old space rocket
Never stop building that old space rocket
Never stop building that old space rocket
Give up on the dream and you know you've lost it
Don't ever stop building that old space rocket
Never stop building that old space rocket
Never stop building that old space rocket
Give up on the dream and you know you've lost it
Don't ever stop building that old space rocket
Don't ever stop building that old space rocket
Don't ever stop building that old space rocket
