Looking back on when I
Was a little nappy headed boy
Then my only worry Was for
Christmas what would be my toy
Even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing
We were happy with the
Joy the day would bring
Sneaking out the back door
To hang out with those hoodlum
friends of mine Greeted at
the back door With boy thought
I told you not to go outside
Tryin' your best to bring the
Water to your eyes
Thinkin' it might stop her
From whippin' your behind
I wish those days could come back
once more Why did those days
ever have to go I wish those days
could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go
I love them so
Brother says he's tellin'
'Bout you playin' doctor with that
girl Just don't tell I'll give you
Anything you want in this whole
wide world Mama gives you money
for Sunday school You trade yours
for candy after church is through
Smokin' cigarettes and writing
something nasty on the wall
Teacher sends you to the principal's
office down the hall You grow up
and learn that kinda thing ain't
right But while you were doin' it
it sure felt outta sight
I wish those days could come back
once more Why did those days
ever have to go I wish those days
could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go
I love them so
