I Wish

[00:18.14] Looking back on when I was a little nappy headed boy
[00:24.97]
[00:27.04] Then my only worry was for Christmas, what would be my toy?
[00:33.92]
[00:36.34] Even though we sometimes would not get a thing
[00:40.78] We were happy with the joy the day would bring
[00:45.14] Sneaking out the back door to hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
[00:51.96]
[00:54.31] Greeted at the back door with "Boy, I thought I told you not to go outside!"
[01:01.34]
[01:03.47] Tryin' your best to bring the water to your eyes
[01:07.92] Thinkin' it might stop her from whoopin' your behind
[01:11.62] I wish those days could come back once more
[01:16.14] Why did those days ever have to go?
[01:20.76] I wish those days could come back once more
[01:25.37] Why did those days ever have to go?
[01:29.69] 'Cause I love them so
[01:32.67]
[01:39.78] Brother said he's tellin' 'bout you playin' doctor with that girl
[01:46.50]
[01:48.72] "Just don't tell and I'll give you anything you want in this whole wide world"
[01:57.92] Mama gives you money for Sunday school
[02:02.18] You trade yours for candy after church is through
[02:06.78] Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall (You nasty boy)
[02:16.00] Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the hall
[02:22.72]
[02:25.10] You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
[02:29.36] But while you were doin' it, it sure felt outta sight
[02:33.03] I wish those days could come back once more
[02:37.66] Why did those days ever have to go?
[02:42.12] I wish those days could come back once more
[02:46.85] Why did those days ever have to go?
