Lyrics

When I was a kid, all I wanted was to ride

A painted pony made, outta wood 'n rawhide

Try'n to be like... cowboys on T.V....

Round'n up bad guys in my neighborhood,

Had a rusty Winchester, man it was good,

To saddle up that pony... we could really ride ....

Way back then, that was when

Fun was make believe'n, with my best friends

Problem is I lost it, somewhere down the way

Just like that, tomorrow turned to yesterday

Back when I was turn'n nine

I was lose'n more than time

When horses were broomsticks
And rope was laundry line

Slices of those days, sweet as apple pie

I just close my eyes, and I'm back where I'm

Ride'n on that pony, on a backyard trail

Where the hell it went, man I'll never know

Time was fly'n by, down that dusty road

What I'd give if I could have 'em, back again

Way back then, that was when

Fun was make believe'n, with my best friends

Problem is I lost it, somewhere down the way

Just like that tomorrow turned to yesterday

Back when I was turn'n nine
I was lose'n more than time

When horses were broomsticks
And rope was laundry line

Why, is what I'm look'n for....

Always up the line....when

All I really need....

Are just those good ol' times, like

(Chorus)

(repeat chorus)
