Lyrics

As a kid I drifted free
a bite of chocolate cake was all I’d need
Rolled in the yard; napped by the cherry tree,
As a kid I drifted free

younger days; I played all week
tapped my shoes to any kind of beat
caught sticklebacks in jars; rode my bike to the creek
younger days; I played all week

Couldn’t tell me what I should wear,
wore red suspenders everywhere,
and Elvis leather pants with rock n roll hair
couldn’t tell me what I should wear

I suppose you know I took a fall;
Went off the rocks--and that was all!
From that time on I’ve been awol;
You'll never find me—don’t bother to call!

I play my guitar all day long;
Never stop—it’s all one song;
The birds in the trees come and sing along
I play my guitar all day long.
