Forty Again Lyrics by Berry John
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
Still the same old neighborhood like many years agoHouses sit in white picket frames like Rockwells in a rowI've always been the rebel son but daddy didn't mindHe wanted me to chase my dreams the way he did one timeNow he's on the front porch as I get out of my carAnd as my father's eyes meet mine there's one wish in my heartI'm wishin' my daddy was forty againHe would be young and I would be tenWe would go fishin' throw an old ball aroundWash his old truck go into townWe can never go back to the way it was thenJust for today I wish he was forty againNow we'll sit and talk for hour of life out on the roadWhat I've seen and where I've been and journeys left to goMama looks at both of us "you're like two kids I swear"Then the stories turn to laughterbefore the leaving turns to tearsI'm wishin' my daddy was forty againHe would be young and I would be tenWe would go fishin' throw an old ball aroundWash his old truck go into townWe can never go back to the way it was thenJust for today I wish he was forty againOh, and just for today I wish he was forty again
