When I was 12
|
While checkin' the mail
|
I was admiring the car
|
of the man next door
|
and thinkin' to myself (man)
|
one of these days
|
i'm gonna have me a house like that
|
with a big red door
|
and his yard was mowed
|
and his grass was green
|
and the driveway was edged
|
and all the shrubs were trimmed so perfectly
|
I had a crush on his wife
|
and I played ball with his son
|
I pondered how much money he made
|
went inside and turned the TV on
|
|
And he was layin'
|
In an overflowing bathtub of red water
|
the first and the last time he ever relaxed
|
And they said he had a smile on his face
|
His final offer
|
The steam on the mirror said 'one more thing to say'
|
|
I was watchin' TV
|
Having one of mom's famous rice-krispy treats
|
Watchin' tom n' jerry
|
I heard a car horn beep
|
I ran to the window
|
His wife an son were home
|
With bags of stuff they had got at the mall
|
I went in my room and got my glove and ball
|
I lept off the steps
|
asked his son could he play
|
and his son looked at his wife and his wife told his son
|
i guess itd be ok
|
That beautiful woman
|
She walked in that beautiful house
|
And when i realized i forgot my hat
|
I said 'I'll be back' and turned around
|
|
And he was layin'
|
In an overflowing bathtub of red water
|
the first and the last time he ever relaxed
|
And they said he had a smile on his face
|
His final offer
|
The steam on the mirror said 'one more thing to say'
|
|
There was screaming
|
There was crying
|
And there were sirens
|
I thought I was dreamin'
|
and the sun was shining
|
It was a beautiful day
|
His wife was talkin' to an officer
|
Through the noise I heard her say
|
|
And he was layin'
|
In an overflowing bathtub of red water
|
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
|
And they said he had a smile on his face
|
His final offer
|
The steam on the mirror said 'I got one more thing to say'
|
|
And he was layin'
|
In an overflowing bathtub of red water
|
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
|
And they said he had a smile on his face
|
His final offer
|
The steam on the mirror said
|
|
And he was layin'
|
In an overflowing bathtub of red water
|
The first and the last time he ever relaxed
|
And they said he had a smile on his face
|
His final offer
|
The steam on the mirror said 'I got one more thing to say'
