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 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 never thought that i could have a 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
