Lyrics
Thinkin' back on when I was a little nappy-headed boy
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 that they would bring
Sneakin' out that back door
Hangin' with those hoodlum friends of mine
Mama at the back door
"Boy, I thought I told you not to go outside
You go try and bring some water to your eyes"
Thinkin' that would stop her from whoopin' your behind
And I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go?
And I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go?
'Cause I love them so
Brother says he's tellin' 'bout you playin' doctor with that girl
"Boy, if you don't tell, I'll give
You anything in this whole wide world"
Mama gives you money for Sunday school
You trade yours for candy after church is through
Smokin' cigarettes now
Writin' somethin' nasty on that wall
Teacher sends you to the principal's office just down the hall
You grow up and learn that kind of thing ain't right
But while you were doin' it, it sure felt outta sight
And I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go?
And I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go?
'Cause I love them so
