(Chris Lindsey/Stephonie Seekel)
Why can`t I?
G.I. Joe moved to Mexico
He`s hiding from the IRS
Wearing diamond rings and livin` like a king
At an undisclosed address
Superman flew to Japan
Gave up fightin` crime
He`s doin` commercials for compact cars
Livin` in a big high rise
Everybody`s gotta grow up sometime
To get a little slice of that big ol` American pie
Yeah, everybody`s gotta grow up sometime
Why can`t I?
The ol` Lone Ranger bought an RV park
Somewhere in Arizona
And Tonto built a big casino
And owns half of Oklahoma
Barbie and Ken, they got a divorce
I guess that`s the way it goes
She got the house and the accessories
And told Ken to hit the road
Everybody`s gotta grow up sometime
To get a little slice of that big ol` American pie
Yeah, everybody`s gotta grow up sometime
Why can`t I?
All of my heroes abandoned their egos
And left me at home on the range
I`m still stuck and I`m still down on my luck
Waitin` for something to change
Everybody`s gotta grow up sometime
To get a little slice of that big ol` American pie
Yeah, everybody`s gotta grow up sometime
Why can`t I?
