__________________________________________
We picked blackberries down that old fence line,
Long-side that sandy road,
Early summertime.
We always left worries somewhere far behind,
There in our mind,
Back when we were kids.
The fish were always biting when I was a kid.
There always seemed one more thrill,
Just around the bend.
And the good Lord sometimes threw a big one in,
I remember then,
Back when we were kids
-------------------------chorus---------------.
And we caught lightnin' in a bottle every single day.
A million dollars couldn't buy that smile we wore on our face.
And when we got in trouble, the calvary always came.
And there was Dad saying, 'Everthing's gonna be OK.
-----------------end chorus--------------------
We rode those ponies up and down those 'sunshine hills',
Through that bottom land,
Man that was a thrill.
And in the Spring we'd always bring the herd on in,
I remember then,
Back when we were kids.
(repeat chorus)
“I wrote this song about my childhood...me and my brother....”
Great tune....Those are the memories that are just not available to the youth of today....The culture is so far removed from what we knew.....
