Verse 1

threw it all into a bag

called up my wife

said this could be the last day

of the rest of my life

Chorus

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'

Verse 2

Repeat pattern from verse 1)

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

Chorus

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'

Bridge

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 plaaa-aans . . .

Verse 3

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 . . .

Chorus

same as above)

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'
