Lyrics Nils Lofgren

Nils Lofgren

Goin' Back

Goffin-King

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.
