Текст James McMurtry – Peter Pan

Beer cans to the ceiling
Ashtray on the floor
Laundry on the sofa
Need I say more

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

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
