Goose > Songs > I Wish > Lyrics


    Looking back on when I was a little nappy headed boy
    Then my only worry was for Christmas, what would be my toy?
    Even though we sometimes would not get a thing
    We were happy with the joy the day would bring
    Sneaking out the back door to hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
    Greeted at the back door with "Boy, I thought I told you not to go outside!"
    Tryin' your best to bring the water to your eyes
    Thinkin' it might stop her from whoopin' your behind
    I wish those days could come back once more
    Why did those days ever have to go?
    I wish those days could come back once more
    Why did those days ever have to go?
    'Cause I love them so
    Brother said he's tellin' 'bout you playin' doctor with that girl
    "Just don't tell and I'll give you anything you want in this whole wide world"
    Mama gives you money for Sunday school
    You trade yours for candy after church is through
    Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall (You nasty boy)
    Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the hall
    You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
    But while you were doin' it, it sure felt outta sight
    I wish those days could come back once more
    Why did those days ever have to go?
    I wish those days could come back once more
    Why did those days ever have to go?
