Aaron Espe - Paper Route

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 if I am tardy
I pedal my bike as fast as I can
It's darker outside than a frying pan

Oh, 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

Well, 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

Oh, 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 papas, their 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 I won't pout
I'm a kid on a mission with a paper route

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
