(To be a child again to be a child again)



To be a child again and have no worries on my mind

Cept what show am I gonna see at the Saturday matinee

Will mom let me skip my napkins stay outside and play

Why the roosters flock their wings and crow that way

Had no problems then to be a child again



To be a child again and have a child's faith in things

Why the all the bad guys I knew were the outlaws on the screen

You could win me over with a dish of ice creme

Any man in iniform to me would like a king

Men were like giants then to be a child again



Well I'm a man now and the world weights heavy on my shoulders

And my problems get bigger every day as I grow older



To be a child again and have no worries on my mind

When I'd go fishin' I put on my old torn shirt

My little dog would lick my face whenever I got hurt

And if I was good I'd get an extra helping of dessert

But that was way back then to be a child again

To be a child again to be a child again
