Go Back

(album: Waylon & Willie II - 2018)

From time to time I look back
I got back

Uh, there was something special bout the times that we had
Our loved ones in the penitentiaries, couple in rehabs
We each had same opportunity, now he mad
'Cause I been doing since coming home looking like he mad
I heard that she mad, 'cause she ain't had me at my best
Life gave us different lessons, I guess we ain't passed he test
There's a reason everything happen
I bought another ticket for the ride
This time the seatbelt's fastened
Thinking back I loved them days, I wouldn't change a thing
'Cause life is evolution, had to fall to spread my wings
Now I sore through the clouds with the woman of my dreams
I go back from time to time to see the beauty chaos brings

I wish that I could go back
To the times that we was younger
And we ain't had no worries at all
I wish that I could turn back
The hands of time and freeze em
But it's more than a clock on the wall
We used to roll all night and just blown
Back and forth over those train tracks
We was young, dumb, and broke
Didn't wanna go home
Man I wish that I could go back
That I could go...

Young, dumb and broke
Just tryna get out the hole
The sound of a tortured soul
Its water boiling on the stove
Mama singing "Ooh child, things are gone get easier"
Meanwhile I'm bout to move out
Thinking I ain't in need of her
16 with a chip on my shoulder, I couldn't budge
I thought I was a grown man and so did the judge
Now I'm riding reminiscing
Thinking how I overcame challenge
Wish Ice Mike woulda listened
'Fore they gave the man all them calendars
Reece just did 18 years, he's home and he's feeling fine
But he wasn't even 18 year old when that man committed that crime
And I'm just riding, rotating right now and I'm reflecting
I'ma roll one up and have a freestyle session

I wish that I could go back
To the times that we was younger
And we ain't had no worries at all
I wish that I could turn back
The hands of time and freeze em
But it's more than a clock on the wall
We used to roll all night and just blown
Back and forth over those train tracks
We was young, dumb, and broke
Didn't wanna go home
Man I wish that I could go back
That I could go...

You know I'm blessed to be where I'm at
Never thought that we'd make it this far
And I love where I'm at today
But some days I just wish I could go back

I wish that I could go back
To the times that we was young
And we ain't had no worries, none at all
I wish that I could go back
Turn the hands of time and freeze
But that's more than a clock on the wall

I wish that I could go back
To the times that we was younger
And we ain't had no worries at all
I wish that I could turn back
The hands of time and freeze em
But it's more than a clock on the wall
We used to roll all night and just blown
Back and forth over those train tracks
We was young, dumb, and broke
Didn't wanna go home
Man I wish that I could go back
That I could go...
