Carole King - Going Back lyrics

GOIN’ BACK

By Gerry Goffin & Carole King

I think I’m going back

to the things I learned so well in my youth

I think I’m returning to

the days when I was young enough to know the truth

Now there are no games to only pass the time

No more electric trains, no more trees to climb

Thinking young and growing older is no sin

And I can play the game of life to win

I can recall a time

when I wasn’t ashamed to reach out to a friend

Now I think I’ve got

a lot more than my toys to lend

Now there’s much to do than watch my sailboat glide

And every day can be my magic carpet ride

A little bit of freedom is all we lack

So catch me if you can, I’m going back

A little bit of courage is all we lack

So catch me if you can, I’m going back

Going back
