SpaceX, Don’t Close Our Coast | Louisiana Country Song | It's Louisiana Time

SpaceX, Don’t Close Our Coast | Louisiana Country Song | It's Louisiana Time “SpaceX, Don’t Close Our Coast” by Korny4Kuntry is a Louisiana country song about shrimp boats, working families, coastal traditions, and the questions surrounding proposed Starbase Louisiana development near Pecan Island. The first song on It’s Louisiana Time welcomes dreams of new jobs and space exploration while asking that fishermen, shrimpers, hunters, property owners, and wildlife have a place in Louisiana’s future. “SpaceX, go reach for heaven, Let those mighty engines roar. But leave a way for working boats To get back home to shore.” From memories of Hurricane Rita to families who have worked these waters for generations, this song asks for clear answers and a future where progress and coastal life can thrive together. This is an original artistic expression of community concerns, not an official SpaceX statement or a report of approved launch schedules. The lyric “if thirty launches fill a day” describes a hypothetical possibility. ⚜️ Welcome to It’s Louisiana Time!

I grew up on these waters, Like my folks did all their lives. Now they’re talking jobs and rockets, And reaching for the stars. But before you build that launchpad, Tell us what becomes of ours. [Chorus] SpaceX, go reach for heaven, Let those mighty engines roar. But leave a way for working boats To get back home to shore. We can cheer you toward tomorrow, We’ve got dreams and families too. SpaceX, don’t close our coast While we make room for you. [Verse 2] If thirty launches fill a day, When can we take our boats? When can I reach my little camp Beyond that line of floats? You say the gates would close awhile, Then open up again. Put the hours down on paper, So we know where we stand. [Chorus] SpaceX, go reach for heaven, Let those mighty engines roar. But leave a way for working boats To get back home to shore. We can cheer you toward tomorrow, We’ve got dreams and families too. SpaceX, don’t close our coast While we make room for you. [Verse 3] Those ducks come down each winter, Find shelter in our reeds. Before you say they’ll settle back, Find out what they need. And we still remember Rita, Water rising at the door. If you build a wall around your place, Will it send our way some more? [Bridge — Stripped Down] Show us where the lines would fall, How long we’d have to wait. Let the folks who work these waters Have a voice before that date. Bring the jobs to Louisiana, Give our kids a chance to stay. Just make a promise we can count on When the rockets fly away. [Bass Singer — Spoken] Pecan Island’s got room for a dream… And some questions that need answering. [Final Chorus — Full Harmony] SpaceX, go reach for heaven, Let those mighty engines roar. But leave a way for working boats To get back home to shore. We can build a strong tomorrow With a coast our kids can use. SpaceX, don’t close our coast— We’ve got a future here too. [Tag — Bass Lead] Go on… reach for the stars. Keep a way back home for ours.
