Take Me Back

[Intro] (Instrumental with Piano) [Verse 1] Five years old, climbing on Papa's back, Asking when that work trip would end... Now it's his turn to help me pack, Off to college, When will I see them all again? [Chorus] Take me back to the mall parking lot, 1 A.M, Take me back to the time we still had innocence, Where fake IDs were all you would need, To feel wild and free... Where little cars and trucks were better then scraping for a buck... Oh, just take me back... [Verse 2] I'll probably get married in a Chapel church, Have my own kids, Them growing up would hurt... Then I'll retire and grow old with love, Hope I die knowing I at least tried... [Chorus] Take me back to the mall parking lot, 1 A.M, Take me back to the time we still had innocence, Where fake IDs were all you would need, To feel wild and free... Where little cars and trucks were better then scraping for a buck... Oh, just take me back... [Interlude] Oh, I'm that picture on the wall, Above the staircase, Oh, I'm that little boy blowing out candles on that vanilla birthday cake... I'm nothing and the past was everything... So, take me back... [Chorus] Take me back to the mall parking lot, 1 A.M, Take me back to the time we still had innocence, Where fake IDs were all you would need, To feel wild and free... Where little cars and trucks were better then scraping for a buck... Oh, just take me back... [Outro] (Guitar solo) (Instrumental) (Instrumental) (Instrumental)
