Looking back on
When I was a little nappy headed boy
Then my only worry
Was for Christmas, what would be my toy
Even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing
We were happy with the
Joy the day would bring
Sneaking out the back door
To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
Greeted at the back door
With boy I thought I told you not to go outside
Tryin' your best to bring the
Water to your eyes
Thinkin' it might stop her
From woopin' your behind
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go?
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go?
'Cause I love them so, I love them so
My brother says, he's tellin'
'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl
Just don't tell I'll give you
Anything you want in this wide world
But mama gives you money
For Sunday school
You trade for candy
After church is through
Smokin' cigarettes and writing
Something nasty on the wall
So teacher sends you
To the principals office down the wall
You grow up and learn
That kinda thing ain't right
But while you were doin' it
You were doin' it, it sure felt outta sight
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go?
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go?
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go?
I love them so
