lyrics

It’s six in the morning and I’ve caught a buzz
Some drink from heartache
and some drink because
The pressures of the job
got me reaching for a cup
No one can be certain
we won’t be breaking up

I’m a man on a mission,
I need steady nerves
I know the earth ain’t flat,
I’ve seen its curves
Give me one for the road,
one more for the climb
I’m a man on a mission, and it’s
Countdown Time

I got motion sickness,
I could really use a nurse
The cabin spins around me,
behind me spins the earth
Kill the rocket boosters,
we’re on cruise control
We’ll make a tiki bar out of the console

I’m a man on a mission,
I need steady nerves
I know the earth ain’t flat,
I’ve seen its curves
Give me one for the road,
one more for the climb
I’m a man on a mission, and it’s
Countdown Time

We all shared a dream, one day we would fly
Raise one small shot for man,
one giant toast to all mankind

Then I see flashing lights, behind me is a cop
He asks if I’ve been drinking,
and why I didn’t stop
He says step out of the car, son,
and show me some ID
But it’s hard to walk a straight line
in zero gravity

I’m a man on a mission,
I need steady nerves
I know the earth ain’t flat,
I’ve seen its curves
Give me one for the road,
one more for the climb
I’m a man on a mission, and it’s
Countdown Time
