"Live Like You Were Dying" crooner Tim McGraw and live-like-you-are-in-space NASA astronaut Scott Kelly are trading tweets Monday after the country star shared his upcoming song "Top of The World" with NASA. Kelly is aboard the International Space Station.

The ISS account also responded to McGraw's message, including a link in the tweet that directs people to NASA's Spot the Station sightseeing website.

"Maybe you’ll fly over my next concert," McGraw tweeted back at ISS. "We love what you’re doing up there, pushing humanity forward. Keep up the great work!"

Kelly's first tweet featured a photo of his feet above a beautiful view of the earth.

Hey @NASA, astronauts on @Space_Station might enjoy my new song. Check it out https://t.co/326YY3RPsB— Tim McGraw (@TheTimMcGraw) August 3, 2015
