On My Way

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

Oh, mom, I never thought that I was a murderin' 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

And when they go out of town

I could go and snoop around

And make myself rich

Off the things that I found

Oh, mom, I never thought that I was a stealin' man

But tonight I'm on my way

Tonight I'm on my way

And 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

Oh, 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

Oh, 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

Oh, 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
