Peter Pan |
Beer cans to the ceiling |
Ashtray on the floor |
Laundry on the sofa |
Need I say more? |
I walked out with my hair wet |
I caught one awful cold |
Should’ve been more careful |
Should’a done like I was told |
I can’t believe it |
How could it be? |
Just like you said could happen |
So it did to me |
Just when I might have seen the light of day |
I crossed my eyes 'til they stayed that way |
I keep my distance as best I can |
Livin' out my time here in Never Never Land |
And I can’t grow up |
'Cause I’m too old now |
I guess I really did it this time Mom |
The boogie man came calling |
I said I wasn’t home |
He didn’t believe me |
He wasn’t alone |
He had my number |
He got my goat |
He bought my ticket |
He paid off my note |
And he left in a hurry |
Said he couldn’t stay |
I guess he had his reasons |
I’m not the one to say |
I keep my distance as best I can |
Livin' out my time here in Never Never Land |
And I can’t grow up |
'Cause I’m too old now |
I guess I really did it this time Mom |
Lets go chase tornadoes |
Just me and you |
You don’t often catch 'em |
But man when you do! |
Just take my catch rope |
And crawl out on the wing |
We won’t come down 'til we own that thing |
Then we’ll sit out on the front porch |
Quiet as a mouse |
One last time before they close on the house |
We keep our distance as best we can |
Havin' us a time here in Never Never Land |
And we can’t grow up |
We’re much too old now |
I guess we really did it this time Mom |
I guess we really did it this time Mom |
I guess we really did it |
