I Wish
Looking back on when IWas a little nappy headed boyThen my only worryWas for Christmas what would be my toyEven though we sometimesWould not get a thingWe were happy with theJoy the day would bring
Sneaking out the back doorTo hang out with those hoodlum friends of mineGreeted at the back doorWith "boy thought I told you not to go outside"Tryin' your best to bring theWater to your eyesThinkin' it might stop herFrom woopin' your behind
I wish those days could come back once moreWhy did those days ever have to goI wish those days could come back once moreWhy did those days ever have to go'Cause I love them so
Brother says he's tellin''Bout you playin' doctor with that girlJust don't tell I'll give youAnything you want in this whole wide worldMama gives you money for Sunday schoolYou trade yours for candy after church is through
Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wallTeacher sends you to the principal's office down the hallYou grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't rightBut while you were doin'it-it sure felt outta sight
I wish those days could come back once moreWhy did those days ever have to goI wish those days could come back once moreWhy did those days ever have to go
