The Right Stuff Lyrics

I don't feel fear or panic
And nothing brings me down
I'm an aerospace age warrior
I can fly sideways through sound
My reflexes and reactions are
As fast as a machine
The right stuff baby the right stuff
The right stuff baby the right stuff
The right stuff baby the right stuff
Watch my trail!

When the dial needle flickers
Around Mach one or two
And something happens suddenly
I know just what to do
My hands move without feeling
And my feet like lightning too
The right stuff baby the right stuff
The right stuff baby the right stuff
The right stuff baby the right stuff
Watch my trail!

My nerves are made of steel
My nerves are made of steel
My nerves are made of steel
My nerves are made of steel
My nerves are made of steel
My nerves are made of steel
My nerves are made of steel
My nerves are made of steel
And what would freak the average man
Would not affect my heart
Not even if this Dixie Chick
Should shake itself apart
The right stuff baby the right stuff
The right stuff baby the right stuff
The right stuff baby the right stuff
Watch my trail!

I don't feel fear or panic
And nothing brings me down
I'm an aerospace age warrior
I can fly sideways through sound
My reflexes and reactions are 
As fast as a machine
The right stuff baby the right stuff
The right stuff baby the right stuff
The right stuff baby the right stuff
Watch my trail!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Wow, the guitar in this song is insane!

Sounds like he's talking about playing the guitar, or maybe playing a show

Cover of an old Hawkwind song. This song has the greatest music video ever.

I think it's about space warfare.

It is a song by Captain Lockheed and The Star fighters (Bob Calvert and various members of Hawkwind). The song was about the F104 Starfighter that in the early seventies had a nasty habit of falling out the sky, hence it's nickname The Widowmaker!
