Jimmy got stuck in fourth grade,
Because he couldn’t count to five,
Always one, two, three, four,
That’s all he’d count,
And never any more

Hey mom,
Hey dad,
I think it’s time to change,
Hey mom,
Hey dad,
I don’t think I wanna play,
Dear mom, dear dad
Just wrote to say I missed ya,
But something’s changed,
And it don’t feel the same,
Jimmy don’t wanna be punk rock anymore,


Jimmy liked the guitar that his momma bought for him,
Even though it had nothing special,
It only had three strings
But he still liked the music
The music that he made,
And even though he played all night,
He was never late again

Hey mom,
Hey dad,
I think it’s time to change,
Hey mom,
Hey dad,
I don’t think I wanna play,
Dear mom, dear dad
Just wrote to say I missed ya,
But something’s changed,
And it don’t feel the same,
Jimmy don’t wanna be punk rock anymore,

Jimmy got thrown out at 15,
To making a living on his own,
He bought a guitar,
And played the songs that he’d been shown,
Now he’s 34,
And he’s getting a little bored

Hey mom,
Hey dad,
I think it’s time to change,
Hey mom,
Hey dad,
I don’t think I wanna play,
Dear mom, dear dad
Just wrote to say I missed ya,
But something’s changed,
And it don’t feel the same,
Jimmy don’t wanna be punk rock anymore,
