Tempo 100 bpm (3/4time)

When I was a boy, I'd spend my days..Playin baseball with my buddies
No grown -ups in the way
We'd like watchin the Road Runner, the Lone Ranger too
On a black and white TV, with three channels to choose

To me it seems like yesterday, and I wonder where that time did go

I'M goin back to a better time
I'm goin back if only in my mind
I'm goin back to see what I can find
Back in the day

When I was a teen playin music at night, in smokey old barrooms
Below the Mason-Dixon line
Watchin red-neckin lovers, in a neon glow
I can still see them swayin and dancing real slow

And I know this world must change and you can't live in the past
the only things you can hold on to, are the memories
Cause that's all that last

I took the test and learned how to drive, I got an old black chevy
With an eight track inside
I thought I was cool, cause she was all mine
I learned all about parkin and crossin that line
CHORUS-out
