To Be a Child Again
(To be a child again to be a child again)To be a child again and have no worries on my mindCept what show am I gonna see at the Saturday matineeWill mom let me skip my napkins stay outside and playWhy the roosters flock their wings and crow that wayHad no problems then to be a child againTo be a child again and have a child's faith in thingsWhy the all the bad guys I knew were the outlaws on the screenYou could win me over with a dish of ice cremeAny man in uniform to me would like a kingMen were like giants then to be a child againWell I'm a man now and the world weights heavy on my shouldersAnd my problems get bigger every day as I grow olderTo be a child again and have no worries on my mindWhen I'd go fishin' I put on my old torn shirtMy little dog would lick my face whenever I got hurtAnd if I was good I'd get an extra helping of dessertBut that was way back then to be a child againTo be a child again to be a child again
