I used to live in a poor neighborhood
My friends and me, we always had a time
Never had no money but we had it so good
Those days are gone and I wanna go back
So pure, so simple
Never thought about it
When you're young, you don't care
You don't realize it 'til it's all behind
Take it for granted just not well
Oh oh, it was pure and simple
I'll remember those days 'til the end
Oh oh, God knows, it's simple
If I could live my life all over again
I'd keep it pure and simple
Those days are gone and I wanna go back
Got me a feelin' I'm not alone
Wish I had a road so I could go back home
Oh oh, it was pure and simple
I'll remember those days 'til the end
Oh oh, God knows, it's simple
If I could live my life all over again
Oh oh, it was pure and simple
I'll remember those days 'til the end
Oh oh, God knows, it's simple
If I could live my life all over again
I'd keep it pure and simple
