Peter Pan - Lyrics - James Mcmurtry

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 (chorus) 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 (chorus) 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 (chorus)
