looking back on when i was a little moppy 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 hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine greeted at the back door boy thought i told you not to go outside trying your best to bring the water to your eyes thinking it might stop her from wooping 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 cause i love them so woah brother says he s telling about you playing 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 smoking cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall teacher sends you to the principal s office right down the hall you grow up and learn that kind of thing ain t right but while you were doing 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 woah ho oh ho woah ho oh ho oh
