Verse 1: 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, tonight I'm on my way Verse 2: 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 Verse 3: 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 Verse 4: There's this kid you gotta meet, he lives across the street Hes 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 Verse 5: 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 Ohhhh tonight I'm on my way.
