Just Like A Rocket - The Grizzly Family

Just Like A Rocket

The Grizzly Family

(Jean-Paul Casas, CALAVERA RECORDS, 2004)

Got a brand new dream machine
Hot rod Ford, that's my mescaline
I'm gonna call my girl, tell 'er
Let's have a ride together
Call my girl tell 'er
Let's have a ride together

Don't be late, we'll have real fun
Got a date with the sun

We gotta leave in the night
To see the California sunshine.
We gotta leave in the night
To see the California sunshine.

Just like a rocket, flyin' through the desert, we'll run
Screaming in the night, we'll be taking a flight to the sun

One o'clock, I have enough
Sorry girl, I must go off

I'm gonna find me some hitch-hicker,
A woman with a hot rod mind

Just like a rocket, flyin' through the desert, we'll run
Screaming in the night, we'll be taking a flight to the sun

And the hair in the wind, racing with the stars, we run
And the hair in the wind, racing with the stars, we run
On my hot rod Ford, yeah we go to California
Jumpin' up and down, got gotta see that sunshine
Good vibrations, rollin' in the desert
Faster, faster, baby baby by my side
Laughin' and screamin', California sunshine
With my hot rod queen, yeah we go to california
