"Goin' Back" lyrics - NILS LOFGREN

I think I'm goin' back
Those days when I was young enough to know the truth
I think Im returning to
To the things I learned so well in my youth.

Now there are no games to only pass the time
No more electric trains, no more trees to climb
But thinking young and growing older ain't no sin
And I can play the game of life to win.

I can recall a time
When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to my best friend
Now I think I've got
A lot more than just these toys to lend.

Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide
But every day can be a magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back.

A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back.
