Lyrics

[00:18.40] Looking back on when i
[00:20.55] Was a little nappy headed boy
[00:27.42] Then my only worry
[00:29.68] Was for christmas what would be my toy
[00:36.55] Even though we sometimes
[00:38.84] Would not get a thing
[00:41.06] We were happy with the
[00:43.39] Joy the day would bring
[00:45.47]
[00:45.89] Sneaking out the back door
[00:47.85] To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
[00:54.53] Greeted at the back door
[00:56.85] With "boy thought i told you not to go outside,"
[01:03.66] Tryin' your best to bring the
[01:05.97] Water to your eyes
[01:08.19] Thinkin' it might stop her
[01:10.45] From woopin' your behind
[01:12.01]
[01:12.48] I wish those days could come back once more
[01:16.40] Why did those days ev-er have to go
[01:20.85] I wish those days could come back once more
[01:25.42] Why did those days ev-er have to go
[01:30.04] Cause i love them so
[01:38.38]
[01:40.02] Brother says he's tellin'
[01:42.23] 'bout you playin' doctor with that girl
[01:48.99] Just don't tell i'll give you
[01:51.27] Anything you want in this whole wide world
[01:58.11] Mama gives you money for sunday school
[02:02.67] You trade yours for candy after church is through
[02:06.60]
[02:07.16] Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy)
[02:16.29] Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the wall
[02:25.14] You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
[02:29.50] But while you were doin'it-it sure felt outta sight
[02:33.45]
[02:34.03] I wish those days could come back once more
[02:38.02] Why did those days ev-er have to go
[02:42.50] I wish those days could come back once more
[02:47.08] Why did those days ev-er have to go
