Sometimes I smile
When I think back to then
Sneekin out for a while
To go fishin again
Thought we'd never get caught
But we always did
Aw 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 launchin pad for a rocketship
That we hid from dad
And all the times that we ran and hid
Aw that's the kind of thing that ya did
When you're just a kid
Now that I'm a man
I long for simple days
Times of big dreams, we just get carried away
I always wondered some day, 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 launchin pad for a rocketship
That we hid from dad
And all the times that we ran and hid
Aw that's the kind of thing that ya did
When you're just a kid
Meetings and deadlines take a toll on me
The stress of our jobs raisin a family
I got two boys, they get that look like I did
Sneakin round without a noise, just like me
When I was a kid
Hey, we turned an ordinary pond
Into an ocean far and wide
An old abandoned car became a shiny new ride
The tracks became a launchin pad for a rocketship
That we hid from dad
And all the times that we ran and hid
Aw that's the kind of thing that ya did
Yeah that's the kinda thing that ya did
When you're just a kid
Yeah just a kid
I remember .......
I was just a kid
Yeah
