threw it all into a bag 
called up my wife
said this could be the last day 
of the rest of my life

sugar don't get no sweeter than this i know
i've been at this thing a long long time
stay with me in heaven promise me that
i don't wanna be a grown man cryin'
i don't wanna be a grown man cryin'

The sky was rainin'
everyone was complainin'
seems no one trusts the weatherman anyway
this name tag tied to my suitcase is all that i have left
i could be gone in a second without even a trace

sugar don't get no sweeter than this i know
i've been at this thing a long long time
stay with me in heaven promise me that
i don't wanna be a grown man cryin'
i don't wanna be a grown man cryin'

life is what happens when you're busy making other plans
said a hero of mine who died way before his time
he got shot for signing an autograph from one of his biggest fans
how's that for collapsible plans . . .

think i'll head back home a day early
i'm not one much for long goodbye's
walk me to the ferry under your umbrella
and we'll kiss in the puddles in the sky
we'll kiss in the puddles in the sky . . .

sugar don't get no sweeter than this i know
i've been at this thing a long long time
stay with me in heaven promise me that
i don't wanna be a grown man cryin'
