Hayes Carll - I Don't Wanna Grow Up lyrics

When I'm lyin' in my bed at night
I don't wanna grow up
Nothin' ever seems to turn out right
I don't wanna grow up
How do you move in a world
Of fog that's always changing things
Makes me wish that I could be a dog

Well when I see the price that you pay
I don't wanna grow up
I don't ever want to be that way
I don't wanna grow up
Seems like folks turn into things
That they'd never want
The only thing to live for is today

I'm gonna put a hole in my TV
Set and I don't wanna grow up
Yeah gonna open up the medicine chest
And I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna have to shout it out
I don't want my hair to fall out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna have to learn to count
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
I don't wanna grow up
Well when I see my parents fight
I don't wanna grow up
They all go out drinkin' all night
And I don't wanna grow up
I'd rather stay here in my room nothin'
Out there but sad and gloom
I don't wanna live in a big
Old tomb on Grant Street

When I see the five o'clock news
I don't wanna grow up
They comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don't wanna grow up
Rather stick around the old hometown
I don't wanna put no money down
I don't wanna get me a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don't wanna learn to float a broom
Fall in love and get married then boom
How the hell did it get here so soon
I don't wanna grow up
