[Verse 1]
She packed my bags last night, pre-flight
Zero hour: 9:00 a.m
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
I miss the Earth so much, I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

[Chorus]
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no! I'm a rocket man
Rocket man! Burning out his fuse up here alone

[Verse 2]
Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact, it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did
And all this science I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
Rocket man! Rocket man!

[Chorus]
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no! I'm a rocket man
Rocket man! Burning out his fuse up here alone

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
'Til touchdown brings me 'round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no! I'm a rocket man
Rocket man! Burning out his fuse up here alone

[Outro]
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
(And I think it's gonna be a long, long time)
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
(And I think it's gonna be a long, long time)
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
(And I think it's gonna be a long, long time)
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
(And I think it's gonna be a long, long time)
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
(And I think it's gonna be a long, long time)
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
(And I think it's gonna be a long, long time)
And I think it's gonna be a long, long time

Little Big Town

Little Big Town is an American country music vocal group. Founded in 1998, the group has comprised the same four members since its Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Jimi Westbrook, and Phillip Sweet. The quartet’s musical style relies heavily on four-part vocal harmonies, with all four members alternating as lead singers. Westbrook and Sweet also play rhythm guitar.

After a recording deal with the Mercury Nashville Records label which produced no singles or albums, Little Big Town released their self-titled debut on Monument Records in 2002. It produced two minor country chart singles before the group left the label. By 2005, the group had been signed to Equity Music Group, an independent record label owned by Clint Black. Their second album, The Road to Here, was released that year. Certified platinum in the US, it produced consecutive Top Ten singles on the country charts in “Boondocks” and “Bring It On Home”. A Place to Land is the title of their third album, released in 2007. This album’s first single, “I’m with the Band”, was a Top 40 hit on the country charts. Shortly after its release, the group was transferred to Capitol Records Nashville, which acquired the rights to A Place to Land and released “Fine Line” and “Good Lord Willing” as its second and third singles, respectively. The latter song is new to the re-release. 2010’s The Reason Why, their first release exclusively for Capitol, produced the Top 10 hit “Little White Church”, while 2012’s Tornado produced their first number 1 hit in “Pontoon”

Little Big Town have charted 14 songs on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. This figure includes a Christmas single which was made available only as a download, and a live cover of “Life in a Northern Town” (along with Sugarland and Jake Owen) which charted in 2008 based on unsolicited airplay
