Seems like another lifetime ago
When I last came to the place I used to know
Even back then I couldn't let it be
When the clock rang three hell I was free
Two kickball fields standin side by side
Swings in the corner that we loved to ride
Theres the football field that I ran till May
Faded four-square lines where we used to play
Id give anything to be there again
But long ago play time reached its end
Chorus:
The place where we came to have some fun
The place where every kid was the chosen one
Whether swing and miss or hit and run
On the playground our lives had just begun
Here we laughed and watched the setting sun
And back then we never had to pack a gun
Here even if you lost you still won
Cuz on the playground, life had just begun
We laughed and hid cuz we were kids
Didnt have to worry about how to pay for it
We found some fun in everything we did
Even if I know now that we didnt have shit
But we had each other, a band of brothers
And each day we had seemed like another
Adventure to live out free from our mother
Those playground dreams could not be smothered
If I close my eyes, will it be okay
To go back to the place where I used to play
Chorus:
The place where we came to have some fun
The place where every kid was the chosen one
Whether swing and miss or hit and run
On the playground our lives had just begun
Here we laughed and watched the setting sun
And back then we never had to pack a gun
Here even if you lost you still won
Cuz on the playground, life had just begun
Outro:
Memories like ghosts just hangin around
On this lonely windswept grade school playground
