[Verse 1]
Cop knockin’ on our shop door
Made us pour out what we had
Made us go on home
But he didn’t know we’d leave and come straight back
We turned around parked behind the gate next to the Ford
Lit a fire and watched them flames burn and drank some more

[Chorus]
Take me back to a time that was simple like before
The only worry in the world was sneakin’ past mama
Stumblin’ through the door
And take me back when we were young and out of line
Wouldn’t change a thing about it
Just relive it one more time

[Verse 2}
That summer I fell for a green-eyed girl from west of town
There ain’t a back road in this county
Her and I didn’t go flyin’ down
We sang Third Eye Blind and drank all night
And laughed ‘till the sun came up
Then we’d do it all again the next night
Mixin’ drinks in solid cups

[Chorus]
Take me back to a time that was simple like before
The only worry in the world was sneakin’ past mama
Stumblin’ through the door
And take me back when we were young and out of line
I wouldn’t change a thing about it
Just relive it one more time
{Verse 3]
Now we’ve all grown up
And we’ve gone our separate ways
I finally learned to pick guitar
And papaw passed away
My life’s a little different now
Then what it used to be
But I keep the past alive with another song and a memory

[Chorus]
So take me back to a time that was simple like before
The only worry in the world was sneakin’ past mama
Stumblin’ through the door
And take me back when we were young and out of line
I wouldn’t change a thing about it
Just relive it one more time
