Lyrics

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

(Conversation)
{Instrumental}

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
