lyrics

I'll treat my woman right
I won't stay out all night
I'll try and be a proper gentleman
I'll help around the home
my hair I'll cut and comb
I plan on doing anything I can
oh I'll be your pride and joy
I'll be a good ol' boy
when I grow up to be a man
I'll end my errant days
and cease my worried ways
I'll try and stick exactly to the plan
my manners I will mind
you'll see me as refined
I'll even lengthen my attention span
oh I'll be your pride and joy
I'll be a good ol' boy
when I grow up to be a man
when I grow up to be a man oh lord
you'll see a change, a change in me
and my old friends they won't understand
when I grow up
to be a man
I'll quit my drinkin' gin
and tuck my shirttails in
I'll be baby Jesus biggest fan
I'll put my guns away
and even save some pay
for the day I ask you for your hand
oh I'll be your pride and joy
I'll be a good ol' boy
when I grow up to be a man
when I grow up to be a man
when I grow up to be a man oh lord
you'll see a change, a change in me
and my old friends they won't understand
when I grow up
to be a man

about

The Kingdom of Jones Sydney, Australia

The Kingdom of Jones take their inspiration from those time honoured traditions: hard work, no work, tight credit, no credit, lonely nights & cold, cold hearts, from the dusty desperation of the thirties to the tear stained bar mats of the seventies, all gathered round the magic lantern listening to the whispers of the past singing about today. ... more
