When I was a young boy
Living way up on the hill
We were young we were free
Carless it seemed
Just like we were living
Living in a dream
Out in the churchyard
Or somewhere in between
Swimming in the summertime
Swimming in the stream
We had nothing to lose
Lawd, we never had the blues
Feelin so alive...
Wontcha take me back home
Playing Ditch, kick the can, or running from the man
When those streetlights come on
Boy come on home, understand...
We aint't rich, and we sure aint poor
But we get by in this mean ole' world
We had nothing to lose
Lawd, we never had the blues
Feelin so alive...
Wontcha take me back home...
