1. I returned to my home town yesterday
and my life before my eyes came flashing back
Everything was changed and the faces look so strange
sometimes I wish that I was young again
CHORUS
And if I close my eyes think on back to happy times
I could be 16 years old for awhile
Honest friendships, high school dances innocence short romances
Life was simple but it sure was good somehow
2. Then we drove to an old beach last night
a place we used to go not long ago
Walking barefoot in the sand
I saw to people holding hands
Falling in love for their first time
CHORUS
3. Now I'm older I guess a little wiser
experience is added to my name
But I can't help but feel that I traded apart I am along the way
CHORUS twice
