Lyrics Forty Again - John Berry
(John
Greenebaum/Troy
Seals/Eddie
Setser)
Still
the
same
old
neighborhood
like
many
years
ago
Houses
sit
in
white
picket
frames
like
Rockwells
in
a
row
I've
always
been
a
rebel
son
but
daddy
didn't
mind
He
wanted
me
to
chase
my
dreams
the
way
he
did
one
time
Now
he's
on
the
front
porch
as
I
get
out
of
my
car
And
as
my
father's
eyes
meet
mine
there's
one
wish
in
my
heart
I'm
wishin'
my
daddy
was
forty
again
He
would
be
young
and
I
would
be
ten
We
would
go
fishin'
throw
an
old
ball
around
Wash
his
truck
go
into
town
We
can
never
go
back
to
the
way
it
was
then
Just
for
today
I
wish
he
was
forty
again
Now
we'll
sit
and
talk
for
hour
of
life
out
on
the
road
What
I've
seen
and
where
I've
been
and
journeys
left
to
go
Mama
looks
at
both
of
us
"you're
like
two
kids
I
swear"
Then
the
stories
turn
to
laughter
before
the
leaving
turns
to
tears
I'm
wishing
my
daddy
was
forty
again
Hw
would
be
young
and
I
would
be
ten
We
would
go
fishin'
throw
an
old
ball
around
Wash
his
old
truck
go
into
town
We
could
never
go
back
to
the
way
it
was
then
Just
for
today
I
wish
he
was
forty
again
Oh,
and
just
for
today
I
wish
he
was
forty
again
