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 whoopin' 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
Brother said he's tellin'
'bout you playin' doctor with that girl
"Just don't tell and
I'll give you anything
You want in this whole wide world"
Mama gives you money for Sunday school
You trade yours for candy
After church is through
Smokin' cigarettes
and writing something nasty on the wall
(You nasty boy)
Teacher sends you to
The principal's office down the hall
You grow up and learn
That kinda thing ain't right
But while 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?
