I remember when I was very young
All the fun we had as kids
Horse back riding and playing in the fields
All the crazy things we did
Well a buddy of ours from down the road
Bought a car for on the farm
He picked us up to go for rides
Hell we didn't see no harm
Well we decided to play cops and robbers
With this little four wheeled job
With this car we chased my brother
As he ran and weaved and bobbed
My other brother was in the back
Shooting at him with a toy gun
We really didn't see no harm
We were kids and this was fun
I was hollering out the window
Just barely hanging on
When all of a sudden from the corner of my eye
On the hill I saw my mom
She was waving her arms and shaking her fist
And pointing us towards home
Our buddy drove us to the House
And left us standing all alone
Our mother told our father
About our dangerous game
And though he had to punish us
He still laughed just the same
