When life was simple as that
                             C          
I didn't know I'd miss it so bad
                          Em                   
When this whole world had way less worries,
  D                   G
nobody in a hurry and back
                          Bm
To mama's home cookin and dad
                           C

                         Em

When I think about how it used to be, Lord it was so simple then
Bm
Dirt-bike and a fishin pole at a fishin hole with all my friends
C
Nothin better than a BB gun in my backyard just huntin squirrels
Em                                    D
Took a ring from my mama's drawer and gave it to this little girl
G
Her mama called mine and then my daddy had to have a talk
Bm
I remember like yesterday what he said when we took that walk
C
"Son don't you ever tell no lie, even if the truth burns"
EM                            D
Everyday my mind goes back to all those lessons learned and I wanna go
G
Back..

I remember that Texaco that Mr. Logan used to own
Bm
They turned in something else and Mr. Logan's long gone
C
My best friend David, he grew up ridin in that wheelchair
Em                              D
But I'd give a million bucks if that old boy was still here
G
Ain't it funny how time goes by and memories seem to fade away
Bm
They built a parking lot on the baseball field we used to play
C
That skating ring is closed down but, now I see it's back again
Em                                 D
I remember those all night skates, very first dates and my old friend
