Whitehouse Songtext

von JJ Grey & Mofro

Playful days you know I got a lot of memories
Of growin' up deep in the South
At a time when people cared, I didn't know I had it good
I was to busy playin' games
Livin' childhood dreams and fantasies

Slip-n-slide play hide and go seek
'Round the swing set climbin' trees
Me and my partner play the man with the golden bar
Mama callin' out to me tellin me "don't wander off to far"
“Dinners almost ready and ya got to come in soon"

Show me the way back to those days
Show me the way back to those days

Truth or dare kissin' icky girls at the playground
Sno-cones for foul balls throwin' pennies
On the tracks and playin' in the rain
Oblivious of the world around us that was goin' insane
Lord, feel that vibe, Lord, feel that vibe

Show me the way back to those days
Show me the way back to those days

I was born in the South
A long long way from anywhere
Comin' up through troubled times
But I did not know to even give a care
Life was good simple to the point of makin' do
Path ahead of me mysterious indeed all brand new

And now they fade memories hold my place in time
While I'm waitin' for the changin' of the tide
The thrill is gone and with it went my wings to fly
Guess we'll have to climb one step at time

Yeah we climb one step at a time, yeah we climb
Do you want to climb the higher mountain with me now?
Do you want to climb the higher road to where we go?
