On My Way - Ben Kweller

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.

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.

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.

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.

Aw, mom, I never thought that I could have a friend

But tonight I’m on my way.

I’m in love with someone who’s as pretty as a flower.

Her life give me power so I’m buyin’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.
