Lookin’ back on when I
was a little nappy headed boy
Oh babe
Then my only worry was for
Christmas what would be my toy
Oh yeah yeah
Even though we sometimes
wouldn’t get a thing
We were happy with the
joy the day would bring

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 had to go, um hmm

Sneakin’ out the back door to
hang out with those hoodlum
friends of mine
Greeted at the back door with
Thought I thought I told you
not to go outside

Tryin’ my best to bring t
he water to your eyes
Thinkin’ it might stop her
from whuppin’ 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 had to go
Cause I loved ‘em so

Smokin’ cigarettes and
writin’ somthin’ nasty on the wall
Teacher sends you to the
principal’s office down the hall
You grow up and learn
that kind of 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 had to go

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 had to go
