Written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin

I think I'm goin' back
|
To the things I learned so well in my youth
|
I think I'm returning to
|
Those days when I was young enough to know the truth
|
Now there are no games
|
To only pass the time
|
No more electric trains
|
No more trees to climb
|
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
|
And I can play the game of life to win
|
|
I can recall a time
|
When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend
|
Now I think I've got
|
A lot more than just my toys to lend
|
Now there's more to do
|
Than watch my sailboat glide
|
But every day can be
|
A magic carpet ride
|
A little bit of courage is all we lack
|
So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back
|
|
La la la la la, etc.
