Leroy Gordon Cooper
I'm Leroy Gordon Cooper
You can call me Gordo
I grew up in Oklahoma
In a time of post-war glory
I married my sweet Trudy
You're the one I love
But I was born to be an astronaut
And reach the sky above
Reach the sky above
Driving down to Houston
To beat the Russians to the moon
But don't you worry Trudy
I'm coming right back home to you
Oh oh, I'm coming home to you
Who's the best pilot, Trudy
That you have ever seen?
You smiled at me and said
I'm looking right at him
The Redstone rocket is climbing
Shooting for the stars
I said I'll bring you back a moon rock
But I never got that far
Oh no, I never got that far
Driving down to Houston
To beat the Russians to the moon
But don't you worry Trudy
I'm coming right back home to you
Oh oh, I'm coming home to you
I'm Leroy Gordon Cooper
And Trudy you're my star
I said I'll bring you back a moon rock
But I never got that far
Oh no, I never got that far
You can call me Gordo
I grew up in Oklahoma
In a time of post-war glory
I married my sweet Trudy
You're the one I love
But I was born to be an astronaut
And reach the sky above
Reach the sky above
Driving down to Houston
To beat the Russians to the moon
But don't you worry Trudy
I'm coming right back home to you
Oh oh, I'm coming home to you
Who's the best pilot, Trudy
That you have ever seen?
You smiled at me and said
I'm looking right at him
The Redstone rocket is climbing
Shooting for the stars
I said I'll bring you back a moon rock
But I never got that far
Oh no, I never got that far
Driving down to Houston
To beat the Russians to the moon
But don't you worry Trudy
I'm coming right back home to you
Oh oh, I'm coming home to you
I'm Leroy Gordon Cooper
And Trudy you're my star
I said I'll bring you back a moon rock
But I never got that far
Oh no, I never got that far
