To grow up right
I grew up fast
Got a job and made some cash
Spent it all without much thought
I guess the proof was in the things I bought
Fancy shoes, fancy car
Only to find after I'd gone to far
The true cost was so much more
Now what did I go and do that for?
I wish I could buy me a little
Buy me a little
Buy me a little of my childlike wonder back
A source of pride, an open sore
Fill it up with more and more and more and more
Now some people like it and I wish 'em well
Aw but to me it's hell
I climbed rungs up a company's back
And the proof was in the soul I lacked
So I quit my job and sold my car
And they said, "what'd you go and do that for?"
I'm trying to buy me a little
Buy me a little
Buy me a little of my childlike wonder back
I see the kids, they play and they dream
Their imaginations are as wild as they seem
Uninhibited reverie
Guitar set me free
Now I can buy me a little
Buy me a little
Buy me a little of my childlike wonder back
Gonna buy me a little
Buy me a little
Buy me a little
Buy me a little
