Going Back Lyrics - Carole King

I think I'm goin' back 

To the things I learned so well in my youth 

I think I'm returning to 

Those days when i was young enough to know the truth 

Now there are no games to only pass the time 

No more electric trains, no more trees to climb 

Thinking young and growing older is no sin 

And I can play the game of life to win 

I can recall a time 

When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend 

Now I think I've got 

A lot more than just my toys to lend 

Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide 

But every day can be my magic carpet ride 

A little bit of courage is all we lack 

So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back
