We were cowboys and Indians

Shooting up the neighborhood

Like John Wayne and Clint Eastwood

Out in Hollywood

We were riding 10 speed ponies

Round and round our little town and square

Soda chugging desperados living life without a care

Yeah when I grow up I wanna be a kid again

For all that I know now

I was so much smarted then

I won't worry a whole lot less

Laugh a little more

And get back to believing the good guy always wins

Yeah when I grow up I wanna be a kid again

And if life had plans to tame us

It sure kept 'em pretty well hid

Girls were stood on the horizon

And work was something that he did

Yeah we had no way of knowing

That this whole world can let you down

I do don't always mean forever

And some dreams just burn out

Yeah when I grow up I wanna be a kid again

For all that I know now

I was so much smarted then

I won't worry a whole lot less

Laugh a little more

And get back to believing the good guy always wins

Yeah when I grow up I wanna be a kid again

When we get older we get wiser

And through the stops and starts

If we're really lucky we stay young at heart

Yeah when I grow up I wanna be a kid again

For all that I know now

I was so much smarted then

I won't worry a whole lot less

Laugh a little more

And get back to believing the good guy always wins

Yeah when I grow up I wanna be a kid again

Yeah when I grow up I wanna be a kid again
