Forty Again — текст песни (berry john)

Still the same old neighborhood like many years ago
Houses sit in white picket frames like Rockwells in a row
I`ve always been the rebel son but daddy didn`t mind
He wanted me to chase my dreams the way he did one time
Now he`s on the front porch as I get out of my car
And as my father`s eyes meet mine there`s one wish in my heart
I`m wishin` my daddy was forty again
He would be young and I would be ten
We would go fishin` throw an old ball around
Wash his old truck go into town
We can never go back to the way it was then
Just for today I wish he was forty again
Now we`ll sit and talk for hour of life out on the road
What I`ve seen and where I`ve been and journeys left to go
Mama looks at both of us you`re like two kids I swear
Then the stories turn to laughter
before the leaving turns to tears
I`m wishin` my daddy was forty again
He would be young and I would be ten
We would go fishin` throw an old ball around
Wash his old truck go into town
We can never go back to the way it was then
Just for today I wish he was forty again
Oh, and just for today I wish he was forty again
