GOIN' BACK

Original version

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 truth
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 a lot more than just my toys to lend
Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide
But every day can be a magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back

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

Written by Goffin and King, originally performed by Dusty Springfield, and became a Byrds classic. These lyrics refer to the original version of the song. Check also Bruce Springsteen's version.

This is a cover and has nothing to do with Springsteen's I'M GOIN' BACK, the Darkness On The Edge Of Town outtake.
