Second Childhood — текст песни (The Foghat)

Dave Peverett - Riff Bros. Music - ASCAP




Back in the schoolyard life wasn`t so hard, but I couldn`t wait to leave.
I left school at sixteen, tired of the routine, money is what I need.
I got into the job line, but there`s no work for my kind,
No school tie and no degree, no chance for me.

I found some employment, but still no enjoyment, I worked in a factory.
I picked up my wages, fhe first time in ages, it don`t seem enough to me.
The years go by in slow time, became a man in no time,
You came along, the time was right - turned on the light.

Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could)
Girl, you`re leadin` me astray, I`ve been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
Oh oh, I`m in my second childhood, oh oh.

Back on the breadline, seemed like a long time, the waiting was all in vain.
I spent my vacation down at the station, waving to all the trains.
After this deep depression, I shoulda` learned my lesson
I found you in the nick of time, who`ll buy the wine?

Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could)
Girl, you`re leadin` me astray, I`ve been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
Oh oh, I`m in my second childhood, oh oh.

{Erik - Slide Solo}

It`s hard to act my age now, I`m going through that stage now.
You make me feel good - you make me feel good.
Now I don`t feel so grown up, `cause everytime you phone up,
You make me feel good - you make me feel good.

(conversation)
{Instrumental}

Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could)
Girl, you`re leadin` me astray, I`ve been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
Oh oh, I`m in my second childhood, Oh oh, I`m in my second childhood,
yea-ee-ya,
I`m in my second childhood, whoa oh.
