Ben Kweller On My Way

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, momma,
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, momma,
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, momma,
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, momma,
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, momma,
I never thought that I could love no one
But tonight I'm on my way.
