Back when you were young

Back when you were young

Days are rough long and hard and you barely make enough to keep the family fed
No one says hello anymore or chit-chat with the neighbor before you go to bed
Then you begin to think of old times of when you felt that you belong
Back when you were young
To a time you could do no wrong
back in the good old days they would  say is where you want to be
With friends and family playing in the Sun back when you were Fancy free
Back when you were young
People do tend to daydream or listen to an old songs
About a time when life seemed easier and they had more fun
You laughed and played all day outside where you climbed trees in the Sun
Today just doesn’t seem the same
People today think of only money power and fame
You shake your head and then you begin to cry
If we don’t change our ways you believe that we all are going to die
So you begin to think of  the past like a slice apple pie
Back when you were young
To a time you could do no wrong
back in the good old days they would  say is where you want to be
With friends and family playing in the Sun back when you were Fancy free
Back to when you were young
These memories you cherish it makes you smile it makes you laugh and sometimes it makes you cry
You tell stories to your kids grandkids about a time that they just don’t understand and ask why
You then put on a smile and think
of a time when you laid down in a grass field for hours looking up into the sky
Back when you were young
To a time you could do no wrong
back in the good old days they would say is where you want to be
With friends and family playing in the sun back when you were Fancy free
Back when you were young
You then wake up to reality and know that those times are no more
People don’t want tranquility they want to hustle and bustle and get out that door
People just don’t realized what they’re missing of nice summer days
Running barefoot in the fields and playing in the hay
There was always  enough watermelon for everyone and all the  corn on the cob you can eat
Going down to swim in the river backyard barbecues going to the game with Grandpa with  shoes on your feet
These times are the ones that you really miss today
Times when you don’t have a care in the world and you just go out and play
Back when you were young 
To a time you could do no wrong
back in the good old days they would  say is where you want to be 
With friends and family playing in the Sun back when you were Fancy free
Back when you were
