about

Co-written with Dan Rivers.

lyrics

Sick of gettin' up at five headin' into the office
Tired of evening news and bills and bosses
Miss the good old days life was easier then

Didn't think it would be this tough
I've had enough of this grown up stuff
So I'm turnin' back the clock gonna' be seven years old again

My drivers license might say 34
But I'm lightin' up cherry bombs on the kitchen floor
Seein' how much cream of wheat I can fit in my cheeks

Gave myself a double dog dare
Runnin' through the sprinkler in my underwear
Doesn't take much to get me thinkin' 'bout way back when
And just like that, I'm seven years old again

Tired of pickin' up dog poop and fixin' flat tires
Changin' diapers, pullin' lint outta' the dryer
My inner child is freaking out, (he) doesn't know where to begin

Burned out on passive agressive conference calls
And watchin' my cholestorol
Going back in time 'til I'm seven years old again

My drivers license might say 34
But I'm lightin' up cherry bombs on the kitchen floor
Seein' how much cream of wheat I can fit in my cheeks

Gave myself a double dog dare
Runnin' through the sprinkler in my underwear
Doesn't take much to get me thinkin' 'bout way back when
And just like that, I'm seven years old again

Sharin' my technique so you can try it too
After all, what would Ferris Bueller do
