02) Goin' Back (1968. The Notorious Byrd Brothers)

Written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin

I think I'm goin' back
To the things I learned so well in my youth
I think I'm returning to
Those days when I was young enough to know the [bad word] 
Now there are no games
To only pass the time
No more electric trains
No more trees to climb
But 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
lot more than just my toys to lend
Now there's more to do
Than watch my sailboat glide
But every day can be 
magic carpet ride
little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back

La la la la la, etc. 
Now there's more to do
Than watch my sailboat glide
But every day can be
magic carpet ride
little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back

La la la la, etc.
