Stevie Wonder~I Wish

A salute to the good old days in Detroit.

(I apologize to all the Mustang, Camaro, and Firebird guys out there--just my taste in cars).


Lyrics

Looking back on when i
Was a little nappy headed boy
Then my only worry
Was for christmas what would be my toy
Even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing
We were happy with the
Joy the day would bring

Sneaking out the back door
To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
Greeted at the back door
With boy thought I told you not to go outside,
Tryin your best to bring the
Water to your eyes
Thinkin it might stop her
From woopin your behind

I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
Cause I love them so

Brother says hes tellin
bout you playin doctor with that girl
Just dont tell Ill give you
Anything you want in this whole wide world
Mama gives you money for sunday school
You trade yours for candy after church is through

Smokin cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy)
Teacher sends you to the principals office down the wall
You grow up and learn that kinda thing aint right
But while you were doinit-it sure felt outta sight

I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go

Pizzamonsterdude:

you nailed it right on the head all the cars were "AWESOME" the only car you left out of my favorites was the 77 Cutlass Supreme "BROUGHAAAM" . I still have mine and as soon as I can afford to I'm restoring it. Reminds me of my cruises down Whittier Blvd in ELA.
