When I Was a Kid

Sometimes I try to remember back when I was a kid And the things we did Like climbing up forty feet in a pine cone tree Feeling feel as a bird Pretending we couldn’t hear being called and Our mother would get so mad that she was not heard We had five and a half acres of land There were thousands of dirt roads With many grains of sand We had so much time on our hands Some days we would lay in the sun to get a tan Or go running through the sprinklers In our swim suites Yes that’s the kind of things we would do It sure has been many years since then But every now and than I stop to think of the fun we would have How we annoyed mom and dad Like when we would jump off the ten Foot trailer and pretend we could fly Or when we were sad, How our dog would be by our side, Yes I remember the good and the bad From all those years long ago Sometimes they are a little vivid But I will never forget what life was like then when I was kid
