I want to kill this man but he turned around and ran.
Ill kill him with karate that I learned in Japan.
He wouldnt see my face. I wouldnt leave a trace.
I wouldnt use a bullet cause a bullets a disgrace.
Aw, mom, I never thought that I was a murdering man
But tonight Im on my way.
Theres this drawer that I know in a house up the road
Thats 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 Im 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 Im on my way.
Theres this kid you gotta meet. He lives across the street.
Hes got spirit and heart. Were 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 Im on my way.
Im in love with someone whos as pretty as a flower.
Her life give me power so Im buyin her a ring.
She makes hats with her hands. She is such an artist.
Im her biggest fan and Im teaching her to sing
Aw, mom, I never thought that I could love no one
But tonight Im on my way.
