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 rink
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
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
