McMurtry, James - Peter Pan Lyrics
Beer cans to the ceiling
Ashtray on the floor
Laundry on the sofa
Need I say more
I walked out with my hair wet
Should have been more careful
Should have done like I was told
I can't believe it
How could it be
Just like you said could happen
So it did to me
Just when I might have seen the light of day
I crossed my eyes 'til they stayed that way
[Chorus:]
As best I can
Living out my time here in Never Never land
I can't grow up
'cause I'm too old now
I guess I really did it this time mom
The boogie man came calling
I said I wasn't home
He didn't believe me
He wasn't alone
He had my number
He got my goat
He bought my ticket
He paid off my note
And he left in a hurry
Said he couldn't stay
I guess he had his reasons
I'm not the one to say
[Chorus]
Lets go chase tornadoes
Just me and you
You don't often catch 'em
But man when you do
Just take my catch rope
And crawl out on the wing
We won't come down 'till we own that thing
Then we'll sit out on the front porch
Quiet as a mouse
One last time before they close on the house
[Chorus]

McMurtry, James Peter Pan Comments
if everyone loves him, how come every time I see him it's mostly empty?
Terrific songwriter/guitarist/singer. I regret the years of my life I didn't know about James McMurtry. Just saw him (solo) a few months back. Good as ever. (And Music Fog - what a treasure of performances - thanks.)
One of the greatest ever
master of the flat pick
I think this is my 20th time watching this.
Amazing....spellbinding
Oh my god.....
Where have you been?
I like it
(realness intensifies)
I really like James McMurtry.....
Marvelous voice, and so many words
Thank you
I think a thousand of these views are mine..
No, 1,000 of the super fine reviews are mine.
He is just so *uck*** awesome.Texas finest. Saw him Friday night @ The Kessler almost didn't go. Bought ticket 'bout an hour before show time. SRO.Glad I did, because I can't grow up.
7 dislikes are total shitheads.Go on somewhere else.James could give a rats ass.The sign of a true artist.Greatest singer/songwriter from Texas up there with Guy Clark,Townes Van Zandt and Billy Joe Shaver.
8 now you must have pissed them off but he is an amazing artist and an excellent story teller
Don't for get Ray Wylie Hubbard.
He's really good live. I believe everything he says really happened.
What tuning is this in?
Closed the show with this. Awesome!
everything I get on some great roll . pickin, my hand cramps. in my next life I come back as a man with hands like two paddle boards.

"Just when i woulda' seen the light if day, i crossed my eyes till they stayed that way"

as always he is america,s best poet
+Tony Rotondo il fight you!
Just want to hug this old bastard. 2 of my favorite songs consist of him and his guild
Old... I beg your pardon. He looks great to me. Sounds even better.
This guy and especially this song.... just gets me
Great song writer and musician, so way underestimated. A realist with lyrics and song.
He is a great musician, and a great guy, met him in Hudson NY at his merchandise table.....Go James....:)
He is the first guitarist that I have seen play on the strings and frets before the capo. Saw him in concert the other night and he played this song. His guitar work is equaling his lyrics. Can't wait for new music.
Thomas Christopher Good eye! He only has the bottom 5 strings capo'd the top string is open
Fuckin ace
AWESOME talent--AWESOME man
This guy is such a rare talent...this is an incredible version of this song! Thanks for posting!
@ExpatBlues En zo is het!
Love this one...
I swear, this is my tenth #1 favorite James McMurtry song.
Sweet guitar... right on James
I'll never grow up...love you James Mcmurtry
By far my FAV James-tune!
Play some McMurtry songs with our BOOTLEG still.
PERFECT SONG this one
He's a real talent!
