My daddy lost his life flyin' jets in World War III
Logged over five million miles with the NATO air marines
Myself, I spent the last two years makin' interplanetary runs
But no one in my family flies a rocket like my mom
Flies a rocket like my mom
They call her Darlin' Dan the Rocket Man
Not just one of the guys
Darlin' Dan the Rocket Man
Slicin' up the skies
Darlin' Dan the Rocket Man
She makes the big rigs fly
Darlin' Dan the Rocket Man
She's a lady in disguise
ย
My little baby sister won't ever be a fashion queen
She never showed interest in clothes or fancy things
Golden curls fallin' down upon some dirty coveralls
Hangin' 'round the launchin' pad to watch the big rigs haul
Wants to fly a rocket just like her Ma
They call her Darlin' Dan the Rocket Man
Not just one of the guys
Darlin' Dan the Rocket Man
Slicin' up the skies
Darlin' Dan the Rocket Man
She makes the big rigs fly
Darlin' Dan the Rocket Man
She's a lady in disguise
ย
Then there finally came a day when mama made her last run
A malfunction of the instruments and she crashed into the sun
And now my little baby sister, she won't come out into the day
She spends all her time in darkness since mama passed away
Since mama passed away
They call her Darlin' Dan the Rocket Man
Not just one of the guys
Darlin' Dan the Rocket Man
Slicin' up the skies
Darlin' Dan the Rocket Man
She makes the big rigs fly
Darlin' Dan the Rocket Man
She's a lady in disguise
They call her Darlin' Dan the Rocket Man
Not just one of the guys
Darlin' Dan the Rocket Man
Slicin' up the skies
Darlin' Dan the Rocket Man
She makes the big rigs fly
Darlin' Dan the Rocket Man
She's a lady in disguise
