Lookin' back on my younger days
|
Life was a play and the world a stage
|
Lust, love and greed were in my heart
|
I thought I had to play each part
|
|
I'd skip school and get in a fight
|
Had a different girl every Friday night
|
But it all came out in the wash
|
Dad always said boys will be boys
|
|
Mom and dad backed me through it all
|
Picked me up each time I'd fall
|
In fact they called it growing pains
|
And said all kids must try such things
|
They kept the faith and brought me through
|
I still make a mistake or two
|
Lookin' back on my younger days
|
Life was a play and the world a stage
|
|
I lost my driver's license twice
|
For speeding and running red lights
|
But like all kids I lived and learned
|
Play with fire and you'll get burned
|
|
I bucked the system day and night
|
Smoked cigarettes and tried the wine
|
Thought breakin' rules was bein' cool
|
It's clear to me now I was a fool
|
|
Mom and dad backed me through it all
|
Picked me up each time I'd fall
|
In fact they called it growing pains
|
And said all kids must try such things
|
They kept the faith and brought me through
|
I still make a mistake or two
|
Lookin' back on my younger days
|
Life was a play and the world a stage
|
|
Yeah everything turned out ok
|
Life was a play and the world a stage
