Foghat - Second Childhood lyrics

Dave Peverett - Riff Bros. Music - ASCAP Back in the schoolyard life wasn't so hard, but I couldn't wait to leave. I left school at sixteen, tired of the routine, money is what I need. I got into the job line, but there's no work for my kind, No school tie and no degree, no chance for me. I found some employment, but still no enjoyment, I worked in a factory. I picked up my wages, fhe first time in ages, it don't seem enough to me. The years go by in slow time, became a man in no time, You came along, the time was right - turned on the light. Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could) Girl, you're leadin' me astray, I've been misunderstood (been misunderstood) Oh oh, I'm in my second childhood, oh oh. Back on the breadline, seemed like a long time, the waiting was all in vain. I spent my vacation down at the station, waving to all the trains. After this deep depression, I shoulda' learned my lesson I found you in the nick of time, who'll buy the wine? Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could) Girl, you're leadin' me astray, I've been misunderstood (been misunderstood) Oh oh, I'm in my second childhood, oh oh. {Erik - Slide Solo} It's hard to act my age now, I'm going through that stage now. You make me feel good - you make me feel good. Now I don't feel so grown up, 'cause everytime you phone up, You make me feel good - you make me feel good. (conversation) {Instrumental} Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could) Girl, you're leadin' me astray, I've been misunderstood (been misunderstood) Oh oh, I'm in my second childhood, Oh oh, I'm in my second childhood, yea-ee-ya, I'm in my second childhood, whoa oh.
