Back

back when life was simple as that

i didn't know i'd miss it so bad

when this whole world had weightless worries

nobody in a hurry and back

to mama's home cookin'

and dad was baitin' my hook

and i was sittin' on a tailgate

thinkin' 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

and a fishin' hole

with all my friends

nothin' better than a bb gun in my backyard

just huntin' squirrels

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 every day

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 miss it so bad

this whole world had weightless worries

nobody in a hurry and bad

to mama's home cooking and dad was baiting my hook

and i'm sitting on a tailgate

thinking about those days just wish i was back

remember that texaco that mister logan used to own

they turned into something else

and mister logan's long gone

my best friend david

he grew up riding 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 the memories seem to fade away

they build a parking lot

on the baseball field where we used to play

that skating means closed down

but now i see it's 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 cooking and dad was breaking my hook

and i'm sitting on a tailgate

thinking about those days just wish i was bad

my dad's getting older now

but sunny still as tough as ever

and my little boy our best friends now

wish she could last forever

my mama still the one i talk to when i need advice

she never never let me

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

this whole world had weightless worries

nobody in a hurry and bad

to mama's home cooking and dad was baiting my hook

and i'm sitting on a tailgate

thinking about those days

just wish i was back

when life was simple as that

i didn't know i'd miss it so bad

but this whole world had weightless worries

nobody in a hurry and back
