Goin' Back Lyrics

I think I'm goin' back
To the things I learned so well in my youth,
I think I'm returning to
The days when I was young enough to know the truthNow there are no games
To only pass the time
No more coloring books,
No Christmas bells to chime
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
And I can play the game of life to winI can recall a time,
When I wasn't afraid to reach out to a friend
And now I think I've got
A lot more than a skipping rope to liftNow there's more to do
Than watch my sailboat glide
Then everyday can be my magic carpet ride
And I can play hide and seek with my fears,
And live my life instead of counting my yearsLet everyone debate the true reality,
I'd rather see the world the way it used to be
A little bit of freedom, all we're left

So catch me if you can
I'm goin' backI can recall,
I can rememberI can recall,
I can rememberI can recall,
I can remember
