When I Grow Up (I Wanna Be A Kid Again)

We were cowboys and Indians
Shooting up the neighborhood
Like John Wayne and Clint Eastwood
Out in Hollywood
We were riding 10 speed ponies
Round and round our little town and square
Soda chugging desperados, living life without a care

Yeah when I grow up I wanna be a kid again
For all that I know now
I was so much smarted then
I won't worry a whole lot less
Laugh a little more
And get back to believing the good guy always wins
Yeah when I grow up I wanna be a kid again

And if life had plans to tame us
It sure kept 'em pretty well hid
Girls were stood on the horizon
And work was something that he did
Yeah we had no way of knowing
That this whole world can let you down
I do don't always mean forever
And some dreams just burn out

Yeah when I grow up I wanna be a kid again
For all that I know now
I was so much smarted then
I won't worry a whole lot less
Laugh a little more
And get back to believing the good guy always wins
Yeah when I grow up I wanna be a kid again

When we get older we get wiser
And through the stops and starts
If we're really lucky we stay young at heart

Yeah when I grow up I wanna be a kid again
For all that I know now
I was so much smarted then
I won't worry a whole lot less
Laugh a little more
And get back to believing the good guy always wins
Yeah when I grow up I wanna be a kid again
Yeah when I grow up I wanna be a kid again
