"I Don't Wanna Grow Up" by Tom Waits from Bone Machine (1992)
It took a 43 year-old man to get into the mind of a young boy. Waits' voice has a history of its own and he uses it perfectly here to illustrate the many downfalls of adulthood through the perspective of his childhood self. The honesty that is brought about in this song can elicit a genuine fear of growing older, but not for the obvious mortal reasons.
