Men Will Be Boys

Guy Clark · Cold Dog Soup [1999]

The only difference between men and boys

Is the size of their feet and the price of their toys

Always horsin' around makin' too much noise

Ain't it funny how men will be boys



Kickin' tires round the pick-up truck

Drinkin' beer and just cuttin' up

Smokin' and jokin' out behind the shed

Cussin' a blue streak till the girls turn red



[Chorus: x2]

Sneakin' out of the house tryin' to have a little fun

Lookin' for somthin' that he ain't done

Look what the cat dragged in at the break of dawn

He ain't passed out he's campin' on the lawn



You can spend a lifetime growin' up

You can spend a lifetime in a rut

When it comes a time you got to make a choice

Most men would just as soon be boys



[Chorus]
