Hayes Carll

I Don't Wanna Grow Up

When I'm lyin' in my bed at night, I don't wanna grow

up

Nothin' ever seems to turn out right, I don't wanna

grow up

How do you move in a world of fog that's always

changing things

Makes me wish that I could be a dog

When I see the price that you pay I don't wanna grow up

I don't ever want to be that way I don't wanna grow up

Seems like folks turn into things that they'd never

want

The only thing to live for is today

I'm gonna put a hole in my tv set I don't wanna grow up

Yeah gonna open up the medicine chest and I don't wanna

grow up

I don't wanna have to shout it out I don't want my hair

to fall out

I don't wanna be filled with doubt I don't wanna be a

good boy scout

I don't wanna have to learn to count I don't wanna have

the biggest amount

I don't wanna grow up

Well when I see my parents fight I don't wanna grow up

They all go out and drinkin' all night and I don't

wanna grow up

I'd rather stay here in my room nothin' out there but

sad and gloom

I don't wanna live in a big old tomb on Grant Street

When I see the 5 o'clock news I don't wanna grow up

They Comb their hair and shine their shoes I don't

wanna grow up

Rather stick around the old hometown I don't wanna put

no money down

I don't wanna get me a big old loan work them fingers

to the bone

I don't wanna learn to float a broom fall in love and

get married then boom

How the hell did it get here so soon

I don't wanna grow up
