Verse 1
I let my imagination stray
To when I was as a boy back in the day
To a place down by the bay
Often gets the focus of my attention
There’s a certain kind of innocence attached to that time
Things were different very much sublime
I know I’ll remember those days as I travel down the line
Verse 2
Emotional weight added to my years
I drowned in lots of tears
A few wrong turns lay on my path
Had my one way street of set backs and fears
Nothing seems to last
I yearn for those days
Memories come flooding back
Chorus
Back in the day drifting like a summer haze
I saw myself in a completely different way
No inhibitions, criticism, much less driven
Than I am today
I wish I could travel back and stay
Back, back in the day
Back in the day
Back in the day
Verse 3
I knew that I would change over time
Some years were cloudy and others were fine
Experiencing the highs and lows
That go along with growing up I suppose
I really want to be back in that place
I think of it often, get out the rat race
Leave it behind make my own way
I wish I could travel back and stay
Chorus
Bridge
I look back at those days with fondness
Nostalgic memories true and honest
All the qualities you were taught
Carry with you today
They’re always going to stay
Verse 4
Now I’m a man with responsibilities
For fitting in this materialistic world
Got a gadget that does everything without the fuss
No self reliance being patient bores us
I don’t know where we’re heading to
I like to think back to the days back in my youth
Sure I was mixed up from time to time
But I wouldn’t trade those days
They’d do me just fine
