When life was simple as that
I didn't know I'd miss it so bad
When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a
Hurry and back
To mama's home cookin' and dad
Was baitin' my hook and I'm sitting on a tailgate,
Thinking 'bout those days just
Wish I was
Back
When I think about how it used to be, Lord it was so
Simple then
Dirt-bike and a fishin' pole at a fishin' hole with all
My friends
Nothin' better than a bb gun in my backyard just
Huntin' squirrels
Took a ring from my mama's drawer and gave it to this
Little girl
Her mama called mine and then my daddy had to have a
Talk
I remember like yesterday what he said when we took
That walk
"Son don't you ever tell no lie, even if the truth
Burns"
Everyday my mind goes back to all those lessons learned
And I wanna go
Back
When life was simple as that
I didn't know I'd miss it so bad
When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a
Hurry and back
To mama's home cookin' and dad
Was baitin' my hook and I'm sitting on a tailgate,
Thinking 'bout those days just
Wish I was
Back
I remember that Texaco that Mr. Logan used to own
They turned in something else and Mr. Logan's long gone
My best friend David, he grew up ridin' in that
Wheelchair
Thought I'd give a million bucks if that old boy was
Still here
Ain't it funny how time goes by and memories seem to
Fade away
They built a parking lot on the baseball field we used
To play
That skating ring is closed down, but now I see us back
Again
I remember those all night skates, very first dates and
My old friend
Back
When life was simple as that
I didn't know I'd miss it so bad
When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a
Hurry and back
To mama's home cookin' and dad
Was baitin' my hook and I'm sitting on a tailgate,
Thinking 'bout those days just
Wish I was
Back
My dad's gettin' older now but son he's still as tough
As ever
Him and my little boy are best friends now, wish it
Could last forever
My mama is still the one I talk to when I need advice
She never ever let me down
God what will I do when she's not around
Back
When life was simple as that
I didn't know I'd miss it so bad
When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a
Hurry and back
To mama's home cookin' and dad
Was baitin' my hook and I'm sitting on a tailgate,
Thinking 'bout those days just
Wish I was
Back
Back When life was simple as that I didn't know I'd miss it so bad When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a Hurry and back To mama's home cookin' and dad Was baitin' my hook and I'm sitting on a tailgate, Thinking 'bout those days just Wish I was Back When I think about how it used to be, Lord it was so Simple then Dirt-bike and a fishin' pole at a fishin' hole with all My friends Nothin' better than a bb gun in my backyard just Huntin' squirrels Took a ring from my mama's drawer and gave it to this Little girl Her mama called mine and then my daddy had to have a Talk I remember like yesterday what he said when we took That walk "Son don't you ever tell no lie, even if the truth Burns" Everyday my mind goes back to all those lessons learned And I wanna go Back When life was simple as that I didn't know I'd miss it so bad When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a Hurry and back To mama's home cookin' and dad Was baitin' my hook and I'm sitting on a tailgate, Thinking 'bout those days just Wish I was Back I remember that Texaco that Mr. Logan used to own They turned in something else and Mr. Logan's long gone My best friend David, he grew up ridin' in that Wheelchair Thought I'd give a million bucks if that old boy was Still here Ain't it funny how time goes by and memories seem to Fade away They built a parking lot on the baseball field we used To play That skating ring is closed down, but now I see us back Again I remember those all night skates, very first dates and My old friend Back When life was simple as that I didn't know I'd miss it so bad When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a Hurry and back To mama's home cookin' and dad Was baitin' my hook and I'm sitting on a tailgate, Thinking 'bout those days just Wish I was Back My dad's gettin' older now but son he's still as tough As ever Him and my little boy are best friends now, wish it Could last forever My mama is still the one I talk to when I need advice She never ever let me down God what will I do when she's not around Back When life was simple as that I didn't know I'd miss it so bad When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a Hurry and back To mama's home cookin' and dad Was baitin' my hook and I'm sitting on a tailgate, Thinking 'bout those days just Wish I was Back Explain Request ×
