Lyrics

Lately, I've been wishin' like I did
Back when, I was a wild kid
When life was easier livin' off the grid
Goin' where the wind took us back then
No shirts, no shoes, on hot afternoons
With a lil' water hose to keep us all cool
Being taught, God made fall for one reason
Cause of football season
What a time to be around this
When livin' in a small town with
Playin' tackle in ditches
Broken arms and stitches
No cameras, just eyes of neighbors
Once a day callin' Jesus to save us
All the thangs money can't buy me
Cause the good Lord gave it to me for free
Up early, playin; out in that Texas heat
If it got too hot, we found shade trees
Outta sight ridin' on fixed-up bikes
On the handlebars holdin' on for dear life
Friends who loved to fist-fight, despite
Who won, we still hung tight
Street lights was the signal to say goodnight
Back when our lives seemed just right
What a time to be around this
When livin' in a small town with
Playin' tackle in ditches
Broken arms and stitches
No cameras, just eyes of neighbors
Once a day callin' Jesus to save us
All the thangs money can't buy me
Cause the good Lord gave it to me for free
Back when two dollars gotcha a few items
And everyone heard the police sirens
Using pay phones to call for directions
Cause you didn't wanna second-guess it
And the only people you knew were
The ones you grew up with there
What a time to be around this
When livin' in a small town with
Playin' tackle in ditches
Broken arms and stitches
No cameras, just eyes of neighbors
Once a day callin' Jesus to save us
All the thangs money can't buy me
Cause the good Lord gave it to me for free
