"Men Will Be Boys" Lyrics

(Guy Clark/Verlon Thompson)

The only diffrence 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'll be boys?

Sneakin' out of the house tryin' to have a little fun
Lookin' for somethin' 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.

The only diffrence 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'll be boys?

--- Instrumental ---
One more

Kickin' tire round the pick up truck
Drinkin' been and just cuttin' up
Smokin' and jokin' out behind the shed
Cussin' a blue streak till the girls turn red.

The only diffrence 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'll be boys?

--- Instrumental ---
Yes sir

You can spend a lifetime growin' up
You can spend a lifetime in a rut
When it comes a time to make a choice
Most men would just as soon be boys.

The only diffrence 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'll be boys?

Horsin' around makin' too much noise
Ain't it funny how men'll be boys?
Yep

Aww Yeah...
