The Byrds - Goin' Back lyrics

rate me

Written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin

I think I'm goin' back

To the things I learned so well in my youth

I think I'm 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 a time

When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend

Now I think I've got

A lot more than just my 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

La la la la la, etc.

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

La la la la, etc.
