Sometimes I smile when I think back to then sneaking out for a while to go fishing again Thought we'd never get Caught but we always did
Oh that's the kind of thing that you thought when you're just a kid
We turned an ordinary pond into an ocean far and wide
An old abandoned car became a shiny new ride
The tracks became a launching pad for a rocket ship that we hid from dad
And all the times that we ran and hid
All that's the kind of thing that you did when you're just a kid
Now that I'm a man I long for simple days
Times when big dreams would just get carried away
I always wondered someday what I'd say to my kids
If they asked me all the things that I did when I was a kid
We turned an ordinary pond into an ocean far and wide
An old abandoned car became a shiny new ride
The tracks became a launching pad for a rocket ship that we hid from dad
And all the times that we ran and hid
All that's the kind of thing that you did when you're just a kid
Meetings and dead lines take a toll on me
The stress of our jobs raising a family
And I've got two boys that get that look like I did
Sneaking around without a noise like I did when I was a kid
We turned an ordinary pond into an ocean far and wide
An old abandoned car became a shiny new ride
The tracks became a launching pad for a rocket ship that we hid from dad
And all the times that we ran and hid
All that's the kind of thing that you get
Yeah that's the kind of thing that you get
When you're just a kid
I remember
When I was just a kid
