[G] [D] [G]
When life was simple [Bm] as that, I didn't know I missed it [C] so bad.
When this whole [G] world had way less worries, [D] nobody in a hurry [G] get by.
Said mama's home cooking [Bm]
and dad's baking my hookah.
[C] I'm sitting on a tailgate thinking about those [Em] days, just [D] wish I was [G] back.
When I think about how I used to be, Lord, it was so [Dm] simple then.
Dirt biking, a [G] fishing pole, and a fishing hole with all my [F] friends.
Nothing better than a [G] BB gun in my backyard just hunting [D] squirrels.
Took a ring from my mama's drawer and gave it to this [G] little girl.
Her mama called mine and then my daddy had to have a talk.
I remember like [E] yesterday what he [G] said when we took that walk.
Son, don't you ever [C] tell no lie, even [D] if the truth [G] burns.
Every day my [D] mind goes back to all those lessons learned and I [G] want to go back.
When life was simple [Bm] as that, I didn't know I missed it [C] so bad.
When this whole [G] world had way less [D] worries, nobody in a [G] hurry get by.
Said mama's home cooking [Bm] and dad's baking [G] my hookah.
[C] I'm sitting on a tailgate thinking about those [G] days, just [D] wish I was [G] back.
I remember that Texaco that Mr.
Logan used to [Bm] own.
They turned it into something else and Mr.
Logan's long [F] gone.
My [G] best friend David, he grew up riding in a wheelchair.
Thought I'd [D] give a million bucks if that old boy was still [G] here.
Ain't it funny how time goes by and memories seem to fade [Bm] away.
They built the parking lot on the baseball field we used to [C] play.
That [G] skating rink closed down, but now I see it's back again.
I remember those [D] all-night skates, very first date with my old [G] friend.
When life was simple [Bm] as that, I didn't know I missed it [C] so bad.
When this [G] whole world had way less [D] worries, nobody in a [G] hurry get by.
Said mama's home cooking [Bm] and dad's baking [G] my hookah.
[C] I'm sitting on a tailgate thinking about those [Em] days, just [D] wish I was [G]
back.
[C] [G] [C]
[Em]
[D] [G] [D] [G]
My dad's getting older now, but son he's [D] still as tough as ever.
Him and my little [E] boy are best friends now, wish it [D] could last forever.
My mama's still the one I talk to when I [G] need advice.
She never [D] ever let me down, God what will I do when she's not around.
[G]
When life was simple [Bm] as that, I didn't know I missed it [C] so bad.
