Like a Kid Again Lyrics

Woke on the wrong side of the bed
A million details in my head,
All tryin to bring me down
They call this living but I'm not sure,
The whole thing goes by like a blur
Wish I could slow it down and do you ever look in your childrens eyes
To a simpler place in time when we could

Spin in circles til we fall down laughing
All your days begin and end in make believe and just pretend
Running barefoot in the rain, oh life was just a game
I'd trade all this real just to feel, Like a Kid Again

When did my innoncence get lost,
Where did I lose the girl that thought
That nothing was too far
Sometimes it's all so serious,
I'd like to rent a yellow bus and drive into the stars
And turn off the world for a day or two
Without a single thing to do but maybe,

Spin in circles til we fall down laughing
All your days begin and end in make believe and just pretend
Running barefoot in the rain, oh life was just a game
I'd trade all this real just to feel, like a kid again

Walkin on the beach, playing in the sand,
Countin all the stars, playing kick the can
Running in the sprinkler until it's almost dark,
Buying candy bars and putting fireflies in jars

Spin in circles til we fall down laughing
All your days begin and end in make believe and just pretend
Running barefoot in the rain, oh life was just a game
I'd trade all this real just to feel, like a kid again

Walkin on the beach, playing in the sand,
Countin all the stars, playing kick the can
Running in the sprinkler until it's almost dark,
Buying candy bars and putting fireflies in jars

Like a Kid Again

Me was recorded between many trips and overnight stays at the hospital that Jo Dee Messina undertook to be with her mom as she went in and out of intensive care following open heart surgery. Following her operation, the songstress took her mother home so she could care for her. Messina also had to juggle her normal touring commitments and mommy duty for her own two young children. This song expresses what the singer went through.

"There's a line in it at the end of the chorus that says, 'I'd trade all this real just to feel like a kid again,'" she told Taste of Country "I couldn't get through the line because I would have at any moment traded all the real at that point to be a kid again."

"There were days Julian King (co-producer) would send me home," she added. "He would be like, 'Not today. You're too tired. You're too run down. I can hear it in your voice.' And so he would call it."
