(To be a child again to be a child again)      To be a child again and have no worries on my mind   Cept what show am I gonna see at the Saturday matinee   Will mom let me skip my napkins stay outside and play   Why the roosters flock their wings and crow that way   Had no problems then to be a child again      To be a child again and have a child's faith in things   Why the all the bad guys I knew were the outlaws on the screen   You could win me over with a dish of ice creme   Any man in iniform to me would like a king   Men were like giants then to be a child again      Well I'm a man now and the world weights heavy on my shoulders   And my problems get bigger every day as I grow older      To be a child again and have no worries on my mind   When I'd go fishin' I put on my old torn shirt   My little dog would lick my face whenever I got hurt   And if I was good I'd get an extra helping of dessert   But that was way back then to be a child again   To be a child again to be a child again
