harry l horton – simple boy lyrics
simple boy 2009 © harry l. horton
life just seemed so simple – when i was a little boy
playing hide and seek – with all the girls and boys
we played through out the neighborhood – and all the neighbors understood
all we really wanted was to play
i wish i could close my eyes – to a younger day
life just seemed so simple – when i was a younger kid
never seemed to matter – much what we did
we rode our bikes to the corner store – played pinball for an hour or more
never worried about the time of day
wish i could close my eyes – to a younger day
life’s just not as simple – now that i’m all grown up
now its up to me – to keep my yard kept up
well the cost of livings more and more – trying to keep up with the folks next door
there’s never any time for me to play
now i wish i could close my eyes – wish i could close my eyes – to a younger day
i still recall – when people shook your hand – their word was gold
and people took a stand – to set things right – living day by day
now life’s just not as simple – as an older man
now i have to walk – where i could have ran
everyones in such a hurry – bills and taxes makes me worry
no one even gives the time of day
well i wish i could close my eyes – now i wish i could close my eyes
wish i could close my eyes to a younger day
wish i could close my eyes – and go away
now life’s just not as simple….
