Lyrics

What I wanna be when I grow up. I could be a fireman if it’s what I wanna be. I could learn to mine that coal If it’s what I wanna be. But I could never teach them kids at school. Heaven knows I learned the price of them rules The hard way. I said the hard way. Get up in the morning and drive that bus If it’s what I wanna be. Forty years down the road and I’m dust What’s to become of me? Think I’ll just stay here where it’s safe. Surrounded by songs of heartache, My way. I said my way. I could learn to fly a plane if it’s what I wanna be. The sky is meant for clouds and birds. Not for little old me. Both feet right here on the ground You’ll never find me or where I’m bound everyday, I said everyday. But there is still plenty of time. No hurrying trying to decide what I wanna be. What I wanna be when I grow up. Try and learn to play them drums Maybe I’ll become a punk. I could drive the getaway car If I only had the luck. Maybe I’d work at the city zoo Free all the animals because I knew It’s the right way. It’s the right way. Try to live the right way.
