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 thought i told you not to go outside
Tryin' your best to bring the water to your eyes
Thinkin' it would stop her woopin' your behind
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go cause i love them so
Brother says he's tellin'
'bout you playing doctor with that girl
Just don't tell 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 wall
You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
But while you were doin't-it-it sure felt out of sight
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those day could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
