Going Back

Gotta love the set, the clothes, the hair...actually, it all gives me the willies, truth be told...but it's a good song, gotta hand it to gerry goffin & carole king for the lyrics...nice sweet melody that could use a bit more of an edge, that edge you get when you get older, but they were young when they wrote it, so they didn't know about that....yet...


I think I'm going back to the things that I learned so well in my youth
I think I'm returning to those days when I was young enough to know the truth
Now there are no games to only pass the time
No more electric trains, no more trees to climb
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
And I can play the game of life to win

I can recall the time when I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend
Now I think I've got a lot more than just my toys to lend
Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide
And every day can be a magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back

Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide
But every day can be a magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back
