about

After pleading with his parents to let him have a paper route, a young boy gets his wish and immediately regrets it.

lyrics

My big mouth, what was I thinking?
Four A.M., who was I kidding?
My parents were right, but I can’t pout
I begged and begged for this paper route

My first stop is Mrs. McCarthy
She won’t tip me, if I am tardy
I pedal my bike as fast as I can
It’s darker outside than a frying pan

My big mouth, what was I thinking?
Four A.M., who was I kidding?
My parents were right, but I can’t pout
I begged and begged for this paper route

Maybe this time he’ll be on his leash
Benny the bulldog, he hates me
I gently set the paper down
But ol’ Benny he hears me anyhow

My big mouth, what was I thinking?
Four A.M., who was I kidding?
My parents were right, but I can’t pout
I begged and begged for this paper route

Now just my luck, the rain starts pouring
I think of my friends still in bed snoring
But mamas and the papas, theirs sons and daughters
Are counting on me come hell or high water

Well I don’t know what I was thinking
Four a.m., man, the devil’s still sleeping
My parents were right, but won’t pout
I’m a kid on a mission with a paper route

Mmmm
Mmmm
Mmmm
Mmmm

Oh, my big mouth, what was I thinking?
Four A.M., who was I kidding?
My parents were right, but I won’t pout
I’m a kid on a mission with a paper route
I’m a kid on a mission
I’m a kid on a mission with a paper route
Mmmm

Aaron Espe Nashville, Tennessee

I'm probably what Bob Ross would sound like if he'd been a singer-songwriter. Calming, positive music with a hint of sadness.
