He remembers what the rubber smelled like On the ball he used for kickball in grade school He remembers what the water smelled like On the lake he fished during childhood And if he could do it over again, He would not miss a thing He remembers what it felt like To have the weather deem a day off from school He remembers the taste of the water When he forgot to close his mouth on a dive in his best friends pool And if he could do it over again He would not miss a thing And if he could do it over again Hed feel just like a king Chorus: If work begins at 8 he shows at 9 On occasion he loses track of time Sometimes he forgets the way to get home at the end of the day If work were done at 6 hed leave by 5 and forget about any important deadlines He forgets the day of his birthday But he never forgets where he came from and he never will He remembers what her hair smelled like When he kissed his first girlfriend in high school He remembers what the cheers sounded like When his friends screamed cause they thought his band was cool And if he could do it over again He would not change a thing And if he could do it over again He would not miss a thing Chorus (Musical Interlude) Chorus
