Pecos Bill and His Stagecoach Rocket

Slue Foot Sue I’ll see you real soon 

We’re in a rocket and on our way

Your bustle bounce brought you to the moon

And we’ll be reunited in just over a day.

–

The countdown starts

The clock starts to run 

Our rocket departs

As the count reaches one.

–

Shimmy and shake 

Like a busting bronco would

Such a commotion for your sake

I’d do it again if I could.

–

We speed up faster 

Leaving the earth

Risk is our master 

No time for mirth.

–

All the coyotes howled

For one last time 

Our wedding was fouled

I’m undoing that crime.

–

Patience my dear 

It’s been a long while

Your Pecos Bill is getting near 

Bring out your smile.

–

The moon grows large

As we approach 

This NASA barge 

Is our stagecoach.

–

It’s been many years 

It’s taken so long 

Frustration and tears 

Now turned into song.

–

I can see your pretty face

And ocean blue eyes 

It’s now just a race

Through star filled skies.

–

Traveling fast is such great fun

Pushing the rocket to the limit

Faster than a bullet from my gun 

A stagecoach rocket with your Bill in it.

–

Hit the retros we’re slowing down

I hoot and holler as we get near 

I’ll soon be in your lunar town 

Hang on darlin I’m almost here…
