Boyhood

I was just a boy like you
Endless wonders on a summer day
Now I'm old and grey
I sit in life and long for yesterday
Just a boy like you
We just wondered what we'd be someday
Boy how I love you I'll live life through you boy if that's OK?

Dandelions in a field of grass
BMX on a woodland path
Dreaming of my substitute teacher
Nudie magazines under the bleachers
Matinee B movie double feature
Those days are so long those days are so gone
Wish I could rewind like a VHS
Tether-ball and foursquare at each recess
Pop rocks and ring pops at the roller rink
Pitcher of Cool aid at the kitcher sink
But now I'm old and grey
And that's OK
I love you more each day

I was just a boy like you
Endless wonders on a summer day
Now I'm old and grey
I sit in life and long for yesterday
Just a boy like you
We just wondered what we'd be someday
Boy how I love you I'll live life through you boy if that's OK?

Used to have blond hair and dimples
Nick at Night man life was damn simple
Hit the arcade at the Cascade mall
Dragons Lair and Indiana Jones Pinball
Journey tearing up the FM waves
On our bikes sunset cruisin with the shutter shades
Top secret club meetings at the tree house
We could see int he neighbor girls room when we'd peek out
Birthday parties with the slip and slide
Block buster renting movies on a Saturday night
Summer camping with my family at the lake
Looking at the girls getting oiled and sun baked
Days at your game I sit and reminisce
I'll never get to everything on my bucket list
But son that's OK
Because of you its like I got a time machine some days

I was just a boy like you
