I Wish I Were Eight Again

I wish i were eight again Strolling down the lonely plains Fervently chasing butterflies That cascade the evening twiligh I'd cherish all till night I wish i were eight again No bait to the wild plains With so much to share And somebody to comb my hair And tell me its all fair I wish i were eight again With little worry to my brain And an innocent mind therin To tell the little girl i liked That i was still a boy I wish i were eight again But times are changing And memories fading Roses and daisies are long gone Guns and liquor are now home.
