Song Description

A song talking of the simple life we led when we were kids. No worries, which is the way we need to get back to. A simple message of how we often get sidetracked from a simple life.

Lyrics

I have seen better days than this
But still there?s something that I miss
Something I had back when we were kids

I used to be so free of care
Back when I never brushed my hair
3 days would go by and I?d still have on the same pair of underwear

Come Saturday wake at 6 a.m.
To watch cartoons like ?Spiderman?
On a 13-inch TV screen in the den

And then I?d grab my fishing pole
Head down to an empty fishin? hole
In this country air is where I free my soul

CHORUS:
I get sidetracked from a simple life, and I?m goin back to the way it was
Cuz I?m so tired of everything I am
I get caught up in the stream of things, and my hands are tied with a guitar string
It?s time I get back to an easy plan

Verse:
I am so fickle in my mind
I?ve wasted too much precious time
Worrying about little things like pennies nickels and dimes

I remember when I was a boy
Saving up for GI Joes and toys
Playing all day long with the neighbors and making senseless noise

Riding home in the back of a pickup truck
Had to go so bad I went in a cup
Yeah, that?s what happens when you go to a buffet and eat too much

Waterguns, and broken down go karts
Quick soda runs to the ghetto mart
Back when video games on Nintendo were considered a sacred art

CHORUS

Bridge:
Another day goes down the drain, another night on the midnight train
I wanna go back to my childhood days, again
