Goin' Back (Goffin/King) - 3:55

I think Iґm going back to the things that I learned so well in my youth
I think Iґm 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 electric trains, no more trees to climb
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 wasnґt ashamed to reach out to a friend
Now I think Iґve got a lot more than just my toys to lend
Now thereґs more to do than watch my sailboat glide
And every day can be a magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can, Iґm goinґ back

Now thereґs 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, Iґm goinґ back
