I can remember long ago,
Just like it was yesterday,
When I was just a youngster,
Running out to play.
We didn\'t have a cell phone,
Nor owned a video game.
Our friends actually stood beside us,
And we knew them all by name.
Car seats weren\'t yet invented,
We would stand up in the front seat,
We rode in the back of pickup trucks,
And jumped out in the street.
Summers found us working,
And that kept us from harm,
Lots of things that needed done,
When we lived out on the farm.
We were taught that life\'s not easy,
We knew it wasn\'t always fair.
Some people had more than we had,
We just didn\'t care.
So many held by hatred,
Too many who are stressed.
I guess I was too busy,
To ever get depressed.
