The Rockets wrote and performed ‘Lost Forever, Left For Dreaming’ for J.B. Fields. He was a mover and shaker in the music scene, particularly in Detroit, beginning as the sound man for The Detroit Wheels featuring Mitch Ryder who later without Ryder became the Rockets. J.B. was beloved by many in the industry, including the members of both Kiss and Blue Öyster Cult. He in fact perished while running the BOC tour in April, 1978 en route to the stadium with a load of equipment one of his drivers left short of the destination. His truck flew over the bridge within sight of the venue and the band remembers the incident vividly.”

Lyrics
Look at me am I so wasted
That I can’t please a heart that is breaking
Standing alone feeling naked
And this loneliness won’t leave me alone
Goodbye baby
You’ve sent me away
Goodbye
Goodbye
And baby I’d give anything
Just to be in your arms again
Loving you
Loving you
Look at me am I so wasted
that I can’t please a heart that is breaking
Standing alone feeling naked
And this loneliness won’t leave me alone
You can see it’s just a part of living
That this highway was so unforgiving
And now the sky shall be my limit
And my soul will be a-travelin’ on
And my soul will be a-travelin’ on
I said my soul, will be a-travelin’ on
Goodbye baby
You’ve sent me away
Goodbye
