Buy Me a Little

To grow up right I grew up fast Got a job and made some cash Spent it all without much thought I guess the proof was in the things I bought Fancy shoes, fancy car Only to find after I'd gone to far The true cost was so much more Now what did I go and do that for? I wish I could buy me a little Buy me a little Buy me a little of my childlike wonder back A source of pride, an open sore Fill it up with more and more and more and more Now some people like it and I wish 'em well Aw but to me it's hell I climbed rungs up a company's back And the proof was in the soul I lacked So I quit my job and sold my car And they said, "what'd you go and do that for?" I'm trying to buy me a little Buy me a little Buy me a little of my childlike wonder back I see the kids, they play and they dream Their imaginations are as wild as they seem Uninhibited reverie Guitar set me free Now I can buy me a little Buy me a little Buy me a little of my childlike wonder back Gonna buy me a little Buy me a little Buy me a little Buy me a little
