about

Don't ya just wish you could run out and play?

lyrics

When I was a kid
I would play all day long
I was young and strong
Life was easy

When I was a kid
I would sing all night long
Play guitar til dawn
I did what I pleased

BRIDGE 1

Let's hang on to our joy
Who said it was time to stop being little girls and little boys

CHORUS

Let's be kids!
Let's run and jump and shout
Let's find out what the world is all about
Let's be kids

When I was a kid
I didn't know right from wrong
But it didn't take me long to work it out

When I was a kid
All I wanted was the fun
The play was never done
There was no doubt

CHORUS

BRIDGE 2

Mama always told me to put away my toys
But mama never said nothing about putting away my joy

CHORUS

When I was a kid
I would lie in my bed
I had a pillow to lay my head warm and dry
When I was a kid
I never thought things could change
Or that life would rearrange by and by

CHORUS
