We were always 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"

Trying your best to bring the water to your eyes

Thinking it might stop her from whooping 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 telling About you playing doctor with that girl

Just don't tell and 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 (You nasty boy)

Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the hall

You grow up and learn that kind of thing isn'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?
