Back to Basics

Take it back, back to when I was a little child Take it back, back to basics I remember back in the day In a summer afternoon Running 'round all day with my friends Watching my favorite cartoon Running 'round the neighborhood in my bicycle Falling down, getting back up again Reaching for the world and a popsicle From the ice cream man Take it back, back to when I was a little child Take it back, back to basics Take it back, when I had no worries on my mind Take it back, back to basics Thinking back the good ol' days Ain't got nothing to regret Hidin' out and skipping school Smoking my first cigarette Mama used to worry all the time Don't worry mama I'm doing fine Keep it simple is a thing That is always on my mind Take it back, back to when I was a little child Take it back, back to basics Take it back, back to when I had no worries on my mind Take it back, back to basics I was the worst in little league but the funniest in the dugout Sittin' on the pine makin' the players bug out Those were the days of building a clubhouse When friends who thug now used to be cub scouts Riding my bicycle, campfires magical Imagination made anything possible Trading figurines for micromachines Splashing water in the bathtub with my submarine Short days, long summers, no hassle Using bed sheets to make my room a castle Tagging my first wall, did it in broad day Bragging about basketball plays I made Shopping at Payless know when I played best Than most kids with Nikes in recess I know now what I knew then That I was rich with family, old and new friends Going up a ladder, climbing up a mango tree Nothing even matters, life is so sweet to me Take it back, back to basics Going up a ladder, climbing up a mango tree Nothing even matters, life is so sweet to me Take it back, back to basics Going up a ladder, climbing up a mango tree Nothing even matters, life is so sweet to me Take it back, back to basics
