Cop knockin' on the shop door
Made us poor out what we had
He made us go on home but he didn't know
We'd leave and come straight back
We turned around and parked behind
The gate next to the ford
We lit a fire and watched the flames burn
And drank some more
Take me back to a time that was simple like before
The only worry in the world was sneaking past momma
Stumblin' through the door
Take me back when we were young and out of line
Wouldn't change a thing about it
Just relive it one more time
That summer I fell for a green eye'd girl
From west of town
There ain't a backroad in this county
Her and I didn't go flyin' down
We sang third eye blind and drank all night
Laughed till the sun came up
Then we'd do it all again the next night
Mixing drinks in sonic cups
Take me back to a time that was simple like before
The only worry in the world was sneaking past momma
Stumblin' through the door
Take me back when we were young and out of line
Wouldn't change a thing about it
Just relive it one more time
Now we've all grown up
And we've gone our separate ways
I finally learned to pick guitar
And papaw passed away
My life is a little different now
Than what it used to be
I keep the past alive with another song
And a memory
Take me back to a time that was simple like before
The only worry in the world was sneaking past momma
Stumblin' through the door
Take me back when we were young and out of line
Wouldn't change a thing about it
Just relive it one more time
