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 on | But tonight I'm on my way.
