Going Back
Johnny Logan
By: G. Goffin & C. King
I think I'm goin' back
To the things I learned so well in my youth
I think I'm returning to
Those days when I was young enough to know the truth
Now there are no games to only pass the time
No more comic book, no Christmas bells to chime
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
And I can play the game of life to win
I can recall the time
When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend
Now I think I've got
A lot more than a comic book to lend
Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide
And every day can be my magic carpet ride
And I can play hide and seek with my fears
And live my days instead of counting my years
Let everyone debate
The true reality
I gotta see the world the way it use to be
A little bit of freedom is all we lack
So catch me if you can
I'm goin' back
