“I was twelve when I wrote this song. I used to think how I would feel about my childhood once I was much older.”
When I was a little boy
Happiness was just a toy
And the times were full of joy
Nothing could give me more pleasure
Than in the time of leisure
I was with my little treasure
Take me back, take me back
Take me back to where I belong
With those cars I used to play
And I could go far away
Fun was with me to stay
I had nothing to worry about
I could do anything, scream or shout
Thought myself to be a stout
Take me back, take me back
Take me back to where I belong
In the life I now face
I gotta run fast in the race
Blood and sweat, I have to trace
Take me back, take me back
Take me back to where I belong
