Blasted off from Brownsville, Texas
one-way ticket to the stars.
Waved an adios to atmosphere,
Waved a howdy back from Mars.
He's gonna rustle him up stardust;
he's gonna find himself a home.
He's gonna kick it in the cosmos,
but it's a long long way to go.
Shine on you Cosmic Cowboy,
but don't board your ship alone.
Shine on you Cosmic Cowboy,
but don't forget us here at home.
How's the view from Albireo?
counting asteroids one by one.
When you picnic at Polaris,
do you dream about our sun?
When you survive the supernova,
when you've tied up red Quasars,
How many light years will you travel?
When you come back from those stars?
Shine on you Cosmic Cowboy,
but don't board your ship alone.
Shine on you Cosmic Cowboy,
but don't forget us here at home.
Stellar sisters
cosmic brothers
stand together
love each other
Stellar sisters
cosmic brothers
stand together
love each other
Stellar sisters
cosmic brothers
stand together
love each other
Shine on y'all Cosmic Cowboys.
You'll never board your ships alone.
Shine on y'all Cosmic Cowboys.
In the cosmos we will roam.
In the cosmos we will roam.
and I feel like I am home.
