Childhood-1949 – Bobby GoldsboroBy Flying kites and pillow fightsAnd lay me down to sleep nightsLions and apes and towel capesFor Captain Marvel flyingSkipping rocks and building blocksAnd Joe Palooka fightingKicking cans and Kool Aid standsAnd lots of fish for bitingJumping jacks and marble sacksAnd treasures in a stockingRaccoon tails and cowboy jailsAnd make like keys for lockingButter churns and windmill turnsAnd mama’s morning laughterRunning free, my dog and meAnd dragons running afterClimbing trees and skinned-up kneesAnd a broomstick horse for ridingBales of hay to hide and playAnd a hound for sit beside meBear traps laid and slingshots madeFrom grandma’s worn-out girdlesPopgun soldiers on the prowlFor grizzly bears and turtlesBeds of grain and sheets of rainAnd hold tight nights of thunderOwls that hoot and Lash LarueAnd heroes gone asunderNightmare fears and grandma’s tearsAnd gingerbread to bake meWhere was I when childhood diedAnd manhood came to take me www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
