The song is about a rocket man who is lonely in space and misses his wife on Earth. He feels disconnected from who he is perceived to be at home. The rocket man reflects on how Mars would not be a good place to raise children and questions his understanding of science, though it is simply his job. He believes it will be a long time until he returns to Earth and is reunited with who he truly is.

ROCKET MEN Songwriters: ELTON JOHN, BERNARD J.P. TAUPIN She packed my bags last night, pre-flight Zero hour, nine a.m. And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then I miss the Earth so much, I miss my wife It's lonely out in space On such a timeless flight And I think it's gonna be a long, long time 'til touch down brings me round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone And I think it's gonna be a long, long time 'til touch down brings me round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids In fact it's cold as hell And there's no one there to raise them if you did And all this science, I don't understand It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man And I think it's gonna be a long, long time 'til touch down brings me round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone And I think it's gonna be a long, long time 'til touch down brings me round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone And I think it's gonna be a long, long time And I think it's gonna be a long, long time And I think it's gonna be a long, long time And I think it's gonna be a long, long time And I think it's gonna be a long, long time And I think it's gonna be a long, long time And I think it's gonna be a long, long time And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
