Days of Innocence ft. Doug Moore Lyrics

I made a skateboard once, when I was just a kid

Used my daddy's tools and screws and wood

My brother held the pieces steady while I worked at it

And I have to say it turned out pretty good

The maple tree behind that house was scrawny then

But I climbed it anyway to see how high I'd be

Someone turned a hose on me and scared me half to death

I shimmied down still shakin' like a leaf

Lord, how I miss those days of innocence

When you tried a thing to see if you could

And maybe you got scared

But you went ahead and dared

In those days of innocence

Winters sleddin' down the hill between two houses

Some kid grabbin' at your runners on the trail

Then jumpin' on as you went by, to ride on top of you

All piled up in a heap when you derailed

Lord, how I miss those days of innocence

When you tried a thing to see if you could

And maybe you got scared

But you went ahead and dared

In those days of innocence

I ain't been back that way in oh so many years

I wonder who those brave kids all grew up to be

Lord, how I miss those days of innocence

When you tried a thing to see if you could

And maybe you got scared

But you went ahead and dared

In those days of innocence

Hmm-mm

Those days of innocence
