Chorus
The only difference between men and boys
Is the size of their feet and
the price of their toys
Always horsin' around makin' too much noise
Ain't it funny how men will be boys
Kickin' tires round the pick-up truck
Drinkin' beer and just cuttin' up
Smokin' and jokin' out behind the shed
Cussin' a blue streak till the girls turn red
Chorus
Sneakin' out of the house
tryin' to have a little fun
Lookin' for somthin' that he ain't done
Look what the cat dragged in at the break of dawn
He ain't passed out he's campin' on the lawn
Chorus
You can spend a lifetime growin' up
You can spend a lifetime in a rut
When it comes a time you got to make a choice
Most men would just as soon be boys
Chorus
