I wanna go back
To the days of my youth
It was simple then
Brother that’s the truth
Every day was magic
Full of endless possibility
It wasn’t always easy
But there was always sanity
Take me back
To the days when I was young
Take me back
When life had just begun
Take me back
To every song we ever sung
Take me back to those days
When life was still sweet on my tongue
Mom raised all alone
My sister and me
We were poor but we had love
Momma was a guardian angel to me
Strongest one I ever knew
She always said “I tried”
A part of my soul
Was lost when momma died
Take me back
To the days when I was young
Take me back
When life had just begun
Take me back
To every song we ever sung
Take me back to those days
When life was still sweet on my tongue
To the days of my youth
It was simple then
Brother that’s the truth
Every day was magic
Full of endless possibility
It wasn’t always easy
But there was always sanity
Take me back
To the days when I was young
Take me back
When life had just begun
Take me back
To every song we ever sung
Take me back to those days
When life was still sweet on my tongue
Mom raised all alone
My sister and me
We were poor but we had love
Momma was a guardian angel to me
Strongest one I ever knew
She always said “I tried”
A part of my soul
Was lost when momma died
Take me back
To the days when I was young
Take me back
When life had just begun
Take me back
To every song we ever sung
Take me back to those days
When life was still sweet on my tongue
