KIDS
Home Grown Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, think back when
you were just a little kid, yeah
When everything that you did ,
you always had fun
Lincoln logs and Tinker Toys
At school the girls would chase the boys
For some dumb reason
I always ranÂ

Prechorus:
Kids just havin fun
Nothing on our minds
Never on the run
Always havin a good time
A good timeÂ

Hey think back when,
you first started kindergarten
When everyone in your class
was your best friend
Dig a ton of tunnels in the sand
Painting pictures for our moms and dads Knowing that they would be so proud
That "kid" resides in all of us, let it resoundÂ

PrechorusÂ

Chorus:
A good time
Always havin a good time
Never wanting to grow old
Never wanting to grow oldÂ

Prechorus-chorus 2XÂ
