Story Behind The Song

My grandson loves stomping in puddles and wants me to join him.

Song Description

We lose our sense of youth over time... but children can teach us how to return to that fun, carefree feeling.

Lyrics

Tryin' to remember what it was like
Being young - full of life
All my senses open and alive
No big hurry when I was five
No big hurry - I was five

Sleddin' down down a hill
Out of control
Catching frogs at the fishin' hole
Not much I had to do
Not an ounce of strife
My ticket to ride was a rusty red bike!

I loved stompin' in a puddle
To feed my soul
Stompin' in a puddle
Not doin' what I'm told
No worries - a life that's so carefree
Stompin' in a puddle rescue me
Awaken the child deep inside me

How it happen - I feel so old?
Everything for reason
Fitting the mold
Need to give myself a break
Do as I choose
My little boy tells me I've got nothing to lose
He tells me I've got nothing to lose

Won't throw in the towel
Give up the fight
Before I fade into my twilight
Hand-in-hand at the edge he says
"Come-on Pappa I'll show you the way!"

I'm stompin' in a puddle
To feed my soul
Stompin' in a puddle
Not doin' what I'm told
No worries - a life that's so carefree
Stompin' in a puddle rescue me
An old friend - so glad to see
Awaken child inside me!
