I'm sittin here on my front porch swing
Drinking beer not worried bout a thing
Just wanna, sit down and watch the world turn
Wait another day while I watch the sun burn
Chill out, relax, and find my way back
Back to the shade back to the sand
Back to younger days, playin' in a band
Back to my life, and what I had
Back when the world didn't seem so bad
Seem so bad
Now I'm older, yeah I know
I'm still young in my own way though
All I can say, is I once had brighter days
And all I want, is to hear somebody say
"Hey friend, come on over,
To a place we don't get older"
I'd go back to the same, back to school
Back to the time, I thought I was cool
Back to my life, back when I smiled
Back when it all, seemed more worthwhile
But now I can see
It won't happen to me
They say you can't go back
Everyone knows that
But what they don't say
Is if they ever had a chance that they'd
Go back to the shade, back to the sand
Back to the pool, and their mom's minivan
To chocolate chip cookies, to daytime TV
Now I know it can't just be me
Some may say youth is wasted on the young
But when have you ever had more fun?
Some grow old, some forget
But I'm not there, no, not yet
I'm still young enough to regret
The life I'd had, the life of a king
Imagination was my plaything
I sure enjoyed, the freedom I had
How could I know, the world would turn mad?
