I remember back when we were kids
Them days at the creek never did
Keep us busy long enough
Muddy hands and July air
Along with soaking wet hair
Left us without a care to think of
Momma'd have our dinner made
And without even saying thanks
We'd go on in and fill our stomachs up
Then we'd lay our little heads to rest
Ready to wake up again
And do it all over just for fun
When we were young
Time would fly
Oh how our lives
Flashed before our eyes
Take me back
To innocence
Take me back
To when we were kids
And I'd pay every penny I've ever made
To go back to those glory days
Of building forts out in the woods
They'd fall apart just like we did
As time took it's toll on them
Leaving them brittle and old
When we were young
Time would fly
Oh how our lives
Have flashed before our eyes
Take me back
To innocence
Take me back
To when we were kids
Now with each year comes a new vice
Pulling the light from our eyes
Taking us further from our home
While dark liquor and nicotine
Serve to us as gasoline
To take us back to when we were young
When we were young
Time would fly
Oh how our lives
Flashed before our eyes
Take me back
To innocence
Take me back
To when we were kids
Take me back
To when we were kids
