Track Insight / Lyrics
Docked my X-Wing at the corner store
Parked it right by the automatic door
The clerk said, "Buddy, that ain't legal here"
I said, "Relax, I'm just pickin' up a beer"
Got a landspeeder, got a beat-up van
Got a tauntaun that I ride when I can
But the thing that makes the ladies say "oh my"
Is the ship that I keep parked up in the sky
They see the keys and they all go quiet
Then they ask me, "Is that thing a riot?"
I just smile and I tip my hat
And I tell 'em, plain and flat…
🎶 (big, singalong, horns punch in)
MY OTHER CAR IS ALSO A SPACESHIP!
Two seats, hyperdrive, and a blaster on the side!
MY OTHER CAR IS ALSO A SPACESHIP!
Hop in, baby, let's go for a ride!
Yeah, the Falcon's in the shop, but I don't mind —
'Cause my other car's a spaceship, and it's one of a kind!
Took her cruisin' past the moons of Yavin
She said, "This beats any car I've been in"
Hit the boost, made the jump to lightspeed
Now she's braggin' to her friends on Tatooine
The Empire pulled me over, said, "You're way too fast"
I said, "Officer, this ain't even full blast"
They scanned my plates, they ran my chain code
Then they let me go — 'cause they wanted a ride home
Ain't no traffic in the great unknown
Just me, the stars, and a galaxy to roam
So when they ask me how I get around
I point up and I make this sound…
🎶
MY OTHER CAR IS ALSO A SPACESHIP!
Two seats, hyperdrive, and a blaster on the side!
MY OTHER CAR IS ALSO A SPACESHIP!
Hop in, baby, let's go for a ride!
Yeah, the Falcon's in the shop, but I don't mind —
'Cause my other car's a spaceship, and it's one of a kind!
(half-time, slide guitar solo, crowd claps)
Gas costs credits, parking's a war
The insurance guy don't know what I pay for
But when the sun sets over Mos Eisley town
There ain't a cooler ride for miles around…
(guitar solo — twangy, wailing, pure space-country)
(key up a step, full band, crowd chanting)
MY OTHER CAR IS ALSO A SPACESHIP!
Two seats, hyperdrive, and a blaster on the side!
MY OTHER CAR IS ALSO A SPACESHIP!
Hop in, baby, let's go for a ride!
Yeah, the Falcon's in the shop, but I don't mind —
'Cause my other car's a spaceship…
Yeah, my other car's a spaceship…
MY OTHER CAR'S A SPACESHIP, AND IT'S ONE OF A KIND!
(spoken, over fading riff)
"Punch it."
(hyperdrive whoosh — engine roar — laughter — end)
