I want to 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.

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.

I was sitting on the bleacher staring at the
speaker,
Reading 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.

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 never thought that I could have a
friend
But tonight I'm on my way.

I'm in love with someone who's as pretty as a
flower.
Her life give me power so I'm buyin' 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.
