Jerry - John Mellencamp

Jerry’s yelling at the man in the Moon

He’s right outside of my window

He acts like a madman from time to time

I hope he brings it to a crescendo soon

Jerry’s yelling at the man in the moon

Jerry’s yelling at the man in the moon

Jerry rides his skateboard down the street

He’s thirty-seven years old with six children

He sees the world through a ten year old boy’s eyes

He doesn’t even notice that it’s raining outside

Jerry’s yelling at the man in the moon

Jerry’s yelling at the man in the moon

But sometimes he cries

He wants me to console him

But I know that he’s lying about everything he’s told me

Jerry’s yelling at the man in the moon

Says he’s prepared to suffer the consequences

What is his penalty for his immaturity

Will he be cast into eternal darkness

Jerry’s yelling at the man in the moon

Jerry’s yelling at the man in the moon

Jerry’s yelling at the man in the moon

Jerry’s yelling at the man in the moon

Jerry’s yelling at the man in the moon
