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 have been more careful

should have 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

living out my time here in Never Never land

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

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 'till 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
