second childhood þarký sözü

dave peverett - riff bros. music - ascap

back in the schoolyard life wasn´t so hard, but i couldn´t wait to leave.
i left school at sixteen, tired of the routine, money is what i need.
i got into the job line, but there´s no work for my kind,
no school tie and no degree, no chance for me.

i found some employment, but still no enjoyment, i worked in a factory.
i picked up my wages, fhe first time in ages, it don´t seem enough to me.
the years go by in slow time, became a man in no time,
you came along, the time was right - turned on the light.

gonna love my life away, i wish i could, (i wish i could)
girl, you´re leadin´ me astray, i´ve been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
oh oh, i´m in my second childhood, oh oh.

back on the breadline, seemed like a long time, the waiting was all in vain.
i spent my vacation down at the station, waving to all the trains.
after this deep depression, i shoulda´ learned my lesson
i found you in the nick of time, who´ll buy the wine?

gonna love my life away, i wish i could, (i wish i could)
girl, you´re leadin´ me astray, i´ve been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
oh oh, i´m in my second childhood, oh oh.

{erik - slide solo}

it´s hard to act my age now, i´m going through that stage now.
you make me feel good - you make me feel good.
now i don´t feel so grown up, ´cause everytime you phone up,
you make me feel good - you make me feel good.

gonna love my life away, i wish i could, (i wish i could)
girl, you´re leadin´ me astray, i´ve been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
oh oh, i´m in my second childhood, oh oh, i´m in my second childhood,
yea-ee-ya,
i´m in my second childhood, whoa oh.
