I want ot kill this man but he turned around and ran.
I'll kill him wiht karate that I learned in Japan.
He wouldn't see my face. I wouldn;t leace 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 home 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 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 the spirit and the heart. We're ten years apart.
He is up 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 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.
