I wanna kill this man
But he turned around and ran
I'll kill him with karate that I learned in japan
He wouldn't see my face
I wouldn't leave a trace
I wouldn't use a bullet, cause a bullet's a disgrace

Aw mom, I never thought that I was a murdering man

But tonight I'm on my way
Tonight I'm on my way

There's this drawer that I know
In a house up the road
That's full of things that are easily sold
When they go out of town
I could go and snoop around
And make myself rich off the things that I found

Aw mom, I never thought that I was a stealing man
But tonight I'm on my way
Tonight I'm on my way

I was sitting on the bleacher
Staring at the speaker
Reading in his lips but I could not understand
So I opened up my ears
And clearly I could hear
This detailed story all about a grain of sand

Aw mom, I always dreamt of being a good listener
So tonight I'm on my way
Tonight I'm on my way

There's this kid you gotta meet
He lives across the street
He's got spirit and heart
We're ten years apart
He is up for anything
He can hang with anyone
He still likes the things we used to think were fun

Aw mom, I always dreamt of havinga friend
But tonight I'm on my way
Tonight I'm on my way
Oh tonight I'm on my way

I'm in love with someone
Who's as pretty as a flower
Her life gives me power, so I'm buying her a ring
She makes hats with her hands
She is such an artist
I'm her biggest fan, and I'm teaching her to sing

Aw mom, I never thought that I could love no one
But tonight I'm on my way
Tonight I'm on my way
Oh tonight I'm on my way
