lirik lagu foghat – second childhood
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.
