Song Description

A song remembering childhood

Lyrics

Runnin' and laughin' summer vacation
Come on and play in my yard
I got a new game we can learn how to play
Try it, it isn't too hard
Buildin' a house in the old oak tree
Makin' a castle of sticks
Watchin' the rain on a lazy Sunday
Remembering when I was six

Hittin' a homer runnin' the bases
Put on my catcher's mitt
Playin' with mudpies roll in the sand
Mommy is havin' a fit
Feelin' kinda funny down in my stomach
'Cause of all the candy I ate
Watchin' the snow fall late in December
Remembering when I was eight

Why do the ladies always go first?
And why can't I eat with my hands?
How did I get here? What makes a baby?
When do I know I'm a man?
How old is Mommy? How old is Daddy?
Why is my Grandma so kind?
Watchin' the children out on the playground
Remembering when I was nine

I used to pretend that I was a star just like on T.V.
I'd run through the park with the wind at my back
Happy-go-lucky and free
You be the sheriff ridin' your horse
And I'll be Billy the Kid
Out on the front porch sittin' and thinkin'
Remembering things that I did
