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, 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, 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, tonight I'm on my way
There's this kid you gotta meet, he lives across the street
Hes 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, tonight I'm on my way
(, Riff)
Oh tonight, I'm on my way
I'm in love with someone, who's as pretty as a flower
Her life gives me power, so I'm buying 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, tonight I'm on my way
Ohhhh tonight I'm on my way.

I wa[G]nt to kill this m[D]an, but he tur[G]ned around and r[D]an
I'll k[C]ill him with ka[D]rate that I lea[C]rned in Ja[D]pan
He wou[G]ldn't see my fa[D]ce, I woul[G]dn't leave a tra[D]ce.
I wou[C]ldn't use a bul[D]let, cause a bul[C]let's a disgr[D]ace.
[Em]Aw, Mom I n[Bm]ever thought that [Em]I was a murdering [Bm]man
But ton[C]ight I'm on my w[G]ay, ton[C]ight I'm on my w[G]ay
There's this dra[G]wer that I k[D]now, in a h[G]ouse up the r[D]oad
That's f[C]ull of thi[D]ngs that are ea[C]sily so[D]ld
When they g[G]o out of t[D]own I could [G]go and snoop aro[D]und
And ma[C]ke myself r[D]ich, off the th[C]ings that I fo[D]und
[Em]Aw, Mom I n[Bm]ever thought that [Em]I was a stealing [Bm]man
But ton[C]ight I'm on my w[G]ay, ton[C]ight I'm on my w[G]ay
I was sit[G]ting on the ble[D]acher, sta[G]ring at the spe[D]aker
Re[C]ading his li[D]ps, but I co[C]uld not under[D]stand
So I op[G]ened up my e[D]ars and cle[G]arly I could he[D]ar
This det[C]ailed st[D]ory all ab[C]out a grain of sa[D]nd
[Em]Aw, Mom I al[Bm]ways dreamt of b[Em]eing a good lis[Bm]tener
So ton[C]ight I'm on my w[G]ay, ton[C]ight I'm on my w[G]ay
There's this k[G]id you gotta m[D]eet, he li[G]ves across the st[D]reet
Hes got sp[C]irit and he[D]art, we're t[C]en years ap[D]art
He is u[G]p for anyt[D]hing, he can h[G]ang with anyo[D]ne
He st[C]ill likes the th[D]ings, we used to th[C]ink were f[D]un
[Em]Aw, mom I n[Bm]ever thought that [Em]I could have a fr[Bm]iend
But to[C]night I'm on my [G]way, to[C]night I'm on my [G]way
[C] [G] [C] ([D], Riff)
Oh tonight, I'm on my way
I'm in lo[G]ve with someo[D]ne, who's as pr[G]etty as a flo[D]wer
Her li[C]fe gives me po[D]wer, so I'm bu[C]ying her a ri[D]ng
She makes ha[G]ts with her h[D]ands, s[G]he is such an art[D]ist
I[C]'m her biggest f[D]an and I'm teac[C]hing her to s[D]ing
[Em]Aw, Mom I n[Bm]ever thought that [Em]I could love no [Bm]one
But ton[C]ight I'm on my w[G]ay, ton[C]ight I'm on my w[G]ay
Ohhhh ton[C]ight I'm on my w[G]ay. [C] [G]
