Back
 When life was simple as that
 I didn't know I'd miss it so bad
 When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a hurry and back
 To mama's home cookin' and dad
 Was baitin' my hook and I'm sitting on a tailgate,
 Thinking 'bout those days just
 Wish I was
 Back
 When I think about how it used to be, Lord it was so simple then
 Dirt-bike and a fishin' pole at a fishin' hole with all my friends
 Nothin' better than a BB gun in my backyard just huntin' squirrels
 Took a ring from my mama's drawer and gave it to this little girl
 Her mama called mine and then my daddy had to have a talk
 I remember like yesterday what he said when we took that walk
 "Son don't you ever tell no lie, even if the truth burns"
 Everyday my mind goes back to all those lessons learned
 And I wanna go
 Back
 When life was simple as that
 I didn't know I'd miss it so bad
 When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a hurry and back
 To mama's home cookin' and dad
 Was baitin' my hook and I'm sitting on a tailgate,
 Thinking 'bout those days just
 Wish I was
 Back
 I remember that Texaco that Mr. Logan used to own
 They turned in something else and Mr. Logan's long gone
 My best friend David, he grew up ridin' in that wheelchair
 Thought I'd give a million bucks if that old boy was still here
 Ain't it funny how time goes by and memories seem to fade away
 They built a parking lot on the baseball field we used to play
 That skating ring is closed down, but now I see us back again
 I remember those all night skates, very first dates and my old friend

 My dad's gettin' older now but son he's still as tough as ever
 Him and my little boy are best friends now, wish it could last forever
 My mama is still the one I talk to when I need advice
 She never ever let me down
 God what will I do when she's not around
