The Catcher

I don't wanna grow up and lose all I have
Lose my smile and my little red hat
Lose my clean tongue and the innocence,
I love
I don't wanna grow up and go to school
With all these phoney kids who think they're cool
Write on the walls, and give girls rides in their fancy cars
There's just one thing that I wanna be
It's a little crazy
But it's my dream
I wanna be the catcher, yeah the catcher in the rye
I wanna save the light in a child's eyes
I wanna let them dance around on their tippy toes
And ride carousels in their little blue coats
And I'll catch them if they start to fall off the cliff
Down in the deep, dark, grown up pit
Yeah, I'll be the catcher, of the catcher in the rye
I don't wanna grow up and lose all I had
Lose the worth of 8 dollars 65 cents
Lose the way I pout or the way I slept witha n open mouth
Lose my peaceful mind for the stressed out kind
Lose those innocent tears I cried with all the time
Lose- that sparkle in my eyes
There's just one thing that I wanna be
It's a little crazy
But it's my dream
I wanna be the catcher, yeah the catcher in the rye
I wanna save the light in a child's eyes
I wanna let them dance around on their tippy toes
And ride carousels in their little blue coats
And I'll catch them if they start to fall off a cliff
Down into the deep dark grown up pit, yeah
I'll be the catcher of the catcher in the rye
But I can't be the catcher of the catcher in rye
So I'll wait until I can fly high into the cloud
So I can catch thre little ones from the ground
I'll open those little eyes and show them the light
I'll be the catcher in a second life
So they can get back all they had
Like their small and their little red hat
End
