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…
