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 'till it's all behind Take it for granted just not well
(chorus) Oh-oh It was pure and simple I'll remember those days 'till 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
