From the recording It's Not Rocket Science
Back in high school, I was young and foolish
Care free and hangin’, with never a wish
Livin’ the day, rarely blowin’ a fuse
Oooh wa ha
Hangin’ with friends, drinkin’ 12 oz Genesee
Smell the lake, feel of a summer breeze
Smilin’ and laughin’, with nothin’ lose
Oooh wa ha
Used to spend my nights, campin’ on the ground
Somewhere outside, my little home town
People watchin’, the smell of farmland
Movin’ day to day, with nothin’ ever planned
Now I’m Sippin’ Tea, at the small doll house
Life sure ain’t, what is used to be
I'm havin’ milk and cookies, at the backyard treehouse
Life sure ain’t, what is used to be
I tell ya Life sure ain’t what is used to be
For... me
Growin’ older, the times are changin’
More responsible, I’m re-arrangin’
Cartoon Saturday, is what I chose
Oooh wa ha
I spend my nights, readin’ story books out loud
Trips to the zoo, walkin’ though the crowd
Listen to questions that ask, how or why
Lovin’ my life, I can’t deny
Now I’m Sippin’ Tea, at the small doll house
Life sure ain’t, what is used to be
I'm havin’ milk and cookies, at the backyard treehouse
Life sure ain’t, what is used to be
I tell ya Life sure ain’t what is used to be
For... me
Life goes on, you learn as you go
I Never thought I was ready, now I know
Used to spend my nights, campin’ on the ground
Somewhere outside, my little home town
People watchin’, the smell of farmland
Movin’ day to day, with nothin’ ever planned
Now I’m Sippin’ Tea, at the small doll house
Life sure ain’t, what is used to be
I'm havin’ milk and cookies, at the backyard treehouse
Life sure ain’t, what is used to be
I tell ya Life sure ain’t what is used to be
For... me
