Lyrics
Billy Buchanan
Verse I
Remember all the games we used to play
Like red light green light and hide & go seek
We'd ignore our curfew and procrastinate
Then rush home before the lights lit up the street
Pre-chorus
Mom would be on the front porch waiting
Making sure we weren't delaying
We'd sometimes make it just in the nick of time
Chorus
Give me a crayon and a piece of paper
Give me the taste of a now & later
Give me a bat and a ball
Life was so simple then, remember when
Verse II
Anticipating Friday after school
We couldn't wait to get our play clothes on
We'd get as dirty as we wanted to
Then track mud on the carpet just for fun
Pre-chorus
Cartoons on a Saturday morning
Would always take away the boredom
When we were stuck inside on a rainy day
REPEAT CHORUS
Pre-chorus
Those years are gone forever
I can't help but smile whenever
I think of all the fun we use to have
REPEAT CHORUS
Chorus (revised)
Give me a ride on a big wheel
Give me a cape I’ll be the man of steel
Give me a bat and a ball
Live was so simple then, remember when
