Back
When life was simple as that.
I didnât know Iâd miss it so bad.
When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a hurry and back.
To mamaâs home cookinâ and dad.
Was baitinâ my hook and Iâm sitting on a tailgate,
Thinking âbout those days just.
Wish I was.
When I think about how it used to be, Lord it was so simple then.
Dirt-bike and a fishinâ pole at a fishinâ hole with all my friends.
Nothinâ better than a BB gun in my backyard just huntinâ squirrels.
Took a ring from my mamaâs 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.
âSon donât you ever tell no lie, even if the truth burnsâ.
Everyday my mind goes back to all those lessons learned.
And I want to go.
When life was simple as that.
I didnât know Iâd miss it so bad.
When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a hurry and back.
To mamaâs home cookinâ and dad.
Was baitinâ my hook and Iâm sitting on a tailgate,
Thinking âbout those days just.
Wish I was.
I remember that Texaco that Mr. Logan used to own.
They turned in something else and Mr. Loganâs long gone.
My best friend David, he grew up ridinâ in that wheelchair.
Thought Iâd give a million bucks if that old boy was still here.
Ainât it funny how time goes by and memories seem to fade away.
They built a parking lot on the baseball field we used to play.
That skating ring is closed down, but now I see us back again.
I remember those all night skates, very first dates and my old friend.
When life was simple as that.
I didnât know Iâd miss it so bad.
When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a hurry and back.
To mamaâs home cookinâ and dad.
Was baitinâ my hook and Iâm sitting on a tailgate,
Thinking âbout those days just.
Wish I was.
My dadâs gettinâ older now but son heâs still as tough as ever.
Him and my little boy are best friends now, wish it could last forever.
My mama is still the one I talk to when I need advice.
She never ever let me down.
God what will I do when sheâs not around.
When life was simple as that.
I didnât know Iâd miss it so bad.
When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a hurry and back.
To mamaâs home cookinâ and dad.
Was baitinâ my hook and Iâm sitting on a tailgate,
Thinking âbout those days just.
Wish I was.
