I Wish

Looking back on when I
 Was a little nappy 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
 To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
 Greeted at the back door
 With boy thought I told you not to go outside
 Tryin' your best to bring the
 Water to your eyes
 Thinkin' it might stop her
 From woopin' 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
 Brother says he's tellin'
 'Bout you playin' 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
 Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the
 wall (you nasty boy)
 Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the wall
 You grow up and learn that kinda 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 have to go
