Andy Caldwell - Kick The Can

it's a long road home
and we can't go back
to the way it was
when we were young
we played kick the can
watched the stars roll by
it was a simpler time
when we studied hard
and played outside
when the streets were safe
life was a race
we ran everywhere
playing kick the can
No you can't go back
it's not in the plan
Today the game is pain
can't play kick the can
wish I could go back
and be young again
to be whole again

Andy Caldwell
