Songtexte Second Childhood - Foghat

Back in the schoolyard life wasn′t so hard, but I couldn't wait to leave.
I left school at sixteen, tired of the routine, money is what I need.
I got into the job line, but there′s no work for my kind,
No school tie and no degree, no chance for me.
I found some employment, but still no enjoyment, I worked in a factory.
I picked up my wages, fhe first time in ages, it don't seem enough to me.
The years go by in slow time, became a man in no time,
You came along, the time was right - turned on the light.
Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could)
Girl, you're leadin′ me astray, I′ve been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
Oh oh, I'm in my second childhood, oh oh.
Back on the breadline, seemed like a long time, the waiting was all in vain.
I spent my vacation down at the station, waving to all the trains.
After this deep depression, I shoulda′ learned my lesson
I found you in the nick of time, who'll buy the wine?
Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could)
Girl, you′re leadin' me astray, I′ve been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
Oh oh, I'm in my second childhood, oh oh.
It's hard to act my age now, I′m going through that stage now.
You make me feel good - you make me feel good.
Now I don′t feel so grown up, 'cause everytime you phone up,
You make me feel good - you make me feel good.
Gonna love my life away, I wish I could, (I wish I could)
Girl, you′re leadin' me astray, I′ve been misunderstood (been misunderstood)
Oh oh, I'm in my second childhood, Oh oh, I′m in my second childhood,
Yea-ee-ya,
I'm in my second childhood, whoa oh.
