Flying kites and pillow fights and lay-me-down-to-sleep nights
Lions and apes and towel capes for Captain Marvel flyin'
Skippin' rocks and building blocks and Joe Palooka fightin'
Kickin' cans and Kool-Aid stands and lots of fish for bitin'
Marvel sacks and jumping jacks and treasures in the stockin'
Raccoon tails and cowboy jails and make-like kids flockin'
Butter churns and windmill turns and mama's mornin' laughter
Runnin' free, my dog and me, and dragons runnin' after
Climbin' trees, skinned-up knees, a broomstick horse for ridin'
Bales of hay to hide and play and a hound for set beside me
Bear traps laid, slingshots made from grandma's worn-out girdles
Popgun soldiers on the prowl for grizzly bears and turtles
Beds of grain, sheets of rain, hold-tight nights of thunder
Howls that whoop and Lasharoos and heroes gone asunder
Nightmare fears and grandma's tears and gingerbread to bake me
Where was I when childhood died and manhood came to take me?
