歌詞
[Verse 1]
I guess I grew up fast in Chi-town
School out, clean up, homework, lights out
Mama was strict about them kids
Runnin' in and out
Street lights meant ya better be in that house
[Verse 2]
Oh, oh, oh back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside
Bed when it's light outside
Oh, oh, oh back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside
Missing the funk of the night
[Verse 3]
They played some really good sounds
Cleaning up on Saturday
From Carmen to Charlie Bird to Aretha
We all sang
Those very sounds floating in and outta my head
Created the magic that sealed my fate
[Verse 4]
Oh, oh, oh back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside
Bed when it's light outside
Oh, oh, oh back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside
Missing the funk of the night
(Play guitar)
[Verse 5]
Street lights meant ya better be in
Ooh
[Verse 6]
I had to run away from home
I had to have my way
Just what I was running from
I don't know to this day
Can't say I have everything
I thought it would be
But I've got memories
[Verse 7]
Ooh
[Verse 8]
Back in the day were the good times
Oh, in my life were the good times
Do you remember?
In my life were the good times
[Verse 9]
Ooh when Auntie Cathy
Played them funky sounds
That's when I knew my true love I'd found
[Verse 10]
Oh, oh, oh back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside
Bed when it's light outside
Oh, oh, oh back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside
Missing the funk of the night
[Verse 11]
Oh, oh, oh back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside
Bed when it's light outside
Oh, oh, oh back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside
Missing the funk of the night
Oh, oh, oh back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside
Bed when it's light outside
Oh, oh, oh back in the day
Put me in the bed when it's light outside
Missing the funk of the night
Ooh, back in the day
[Verse 12]
Don't ya wanna roll back?
Wasn't it fun?
