[Intro]

[Verse]
      G
That old man sat down by his self
Cadd9             G
 At the downtown cafe
 G
Watching out a window
                 D
As a little boy played

            G                         Cadd9
And he's reminded of the good times he had
               G
When he was a kid
    G
And oh how he wishes
          D              G   G
He could just Go back again

[Chorus]
Cadd9
Back when mama cooked all day
G
Over a hot old stove
    Cadd9
And daddy loading up his truck
   G                  D   D
To Go to the fishing hole

          G
And that warm southern breeze
Cadd9             G
 And that summer rowing
     Cadd9             G                  D             G   G
Well things seemed so simple when you're just a little boy


[Verse]
      G
He remembers the backyard swing
Cadd9             G
Where he used to play

And that old apple tree
                       D
That he climbed every day

         G
And the sound his daddy's truck made
Cadd9               G
    Pulling in the drive
     Cadd9                  G
Well Lord it's like he can see himself
      D             G    G
Back home one more time

And daddy loading up his truck
   G                  D    D
To Go to the fishing hole

          G
And that warm southern breeze
Cadd9             G
 And that summer rowing

    Cadd9             G                  D             G   G
Now things seemed so simple when you're just a little boy
