I used to live in a poor neighborhood My friends and me we always had a time Never had no money but we had it so good Those days are gone and I wanna go back So pure, so simple Never thought about it when you're young, you don't care You don't realize it 'til it's all behind Take it for granted just not well Oh, oh, it was pure and simple I'll remember those days 'til the end Oh, oh, God knows it's simple If I could live my life all over again I'd keep it pure and simple Those days are gone and I wanna go back, oh, oh Got me a feelin' I'm not alone Wish, I had a road so I could go back home Oh, oh, it was pure and simple I'll remember those days 'til the end Oh, oh, God knows it's simple If I could live my life all over again Oh, oh, it was pure and simple I'll remember those days 'til the end Oh, oh, God knows it's simple If I could live my life all over again I'd keep it pure and simple When times were simple
