Description
This song is a look back at my life and some special friends as I was growing up, and how time oftens separates people. I think everyone who looks back has similar stories to tell. Luckily, social media has put many of us back in touch -- so perhaps this should be the theme song for Facebook! I hope you enjoy it.
Lyrics
I got grass stains on my dungarees Playing football with Eric and Charles And sweet Suzanne from down the street Liked to hug me oh so hard Isabel with her big brown eyes Could look deep in my soul And Karl kept playing that old guitar Trying to learn some rock 'n roll That was a lot of years ago They slipped away somehow I wonder where my friends are now I wonder where they are now A Friday night at the football game Drumming in the marching band The cheerleaders looked so fine and sweet No matter where I’d stand Later on I’d meet my friends And hang out half the night Talking about our girls and cars And which ones felt just right That was a lot of years ago They slipped away somehow I wonder where my friends are now I wonder where they are now I built an old raft at the river Thought I just might sail away ‘Cause growing up is never easy It was only yesterday, yesterday After school some friends got married Others headed off to work One or two didn’t live too long Even now the pain still hurts So many things we used to do And places we have been They are there among the memories Of all my missing friends
