[quote=Anonymous]Childish Things -- James McMurtry

Aunt Clara kept her Bible Right next to the phone in case she needed a quote
 While she talked to someone
 In my memory she smiles While the blessing is said
 And visions of freeze tag dance in my head
 She says I’ll grow up big If I eat all my roast
 I’ll still believe in heaven
 But I won’t believe in ghosts anymore

I’ll put away childish things

Every other weekend at the age of thirteen
 With my fishing pole and my Field and Stream
 Ridin’ back home on the Trailways bus
 I looked out the window
‘Til I saw too much
 And I called my parents by their own first names
 I played in the alley
 But I didn’t play the game anymore

I put away childish things

The wolves howl all night long
 They won’t stop and they won’t go home
 Beneath my window they run
 Probably it’ll be alright
 If I keep it all locked up tight And wait ‘til daylight comes

Now my boy goes like a house on fire
 He’ll never burn out and he’ll never retire
 And I remember when I used to think like that
 When I was young and the world was flat
 But I’m forty some years old now and man I don’t care
 All I want now is just a comfortable chair
 And to sell all my stock
 And live on the coast
 I don’t believe in heaven But I still believe in ghosts.
