Next Time (Gonna Wail)

I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid of the next time
I'm not of afraid of the next time
cause when next time rolls around
I'm gonna wail

When I was just seven years old, a bully told me that
kids shouldn't laugh so much, so I frowned and he
smacked me in the mouth for just going along
I ran right home to Momma and cried, she replied
"Stupid kid you know that bully was right to smack you in the mouth
your Papa didn't raise you to be a wimp."
And I said

Momma, I'm not afraid
It's not gonna happen again
Momma, I'm not afraid
I'll show ya' when the next time
(rolls around)
I'll show you when the next time
(rolls around)
I'll show you when the next time rolls around
I'm gonna wail

I went to a high school party on a warm Friday night
Diane was sitting beside me with her hand in my lap
rubbing up and down, when I began to sweat
She said, "Jimmy, why you're all wet, you'd better let me get your
clothes off before you catch your death of cold."
I said, "Gee, Diane, how're your classes goin'?"
And she said

"Jimmy, you're afraid!
I'm not gonna offer again."
Listen, I'm not afraid
I'll show you when the next time
(rolls around)
I'll show you when the next time
(rolls around)
I'll show you when the next time rolls around
I'm gonna wail

I coulda been an
admiral, general, vegetable, mineral
engineer, privateer, pioneer or rugby player
dissident, president, leader of a government
gone fishin' musician
a writer of petitions, committer of sedition
a wheelwright, boatwright, out-a-site playwright
blacksmith, goldsmith, silver-tongue wordsmith
underworld rocketman or inside your pocket man
corporate C.E.O. (or an accountant)
but no-one wants to be an accountant
All those things I coulda' been or shoulda' done
I ain't done nothin', not a god-damn one but

I ain't been no-where man!
I ain't been no-where man!
It ain't really fair man!
'cause I ain't been no-where!
but next time
Oooh next time
Next time

Baby, I'm not afraid
It's not gonna happen again
Darlin', I'm not afraid. I'll show ya' when the next time
(rolls around)
I'll show you when the next time
(rolls around)
I'll show you when the next time rolls around
I'm gonna wail
