I saw an old tire hanging from a tree My mind drifted back to old time memories Swinging on a tire for hours at a time I like to drift back to those good old days When life was free
We used to go down to the river and swing from a vine Doing tricks that did not work out half of the time Making a painful splash and everyone had a good laugh I like to drift back to those good old days When life was free
Now a days I have to go to work Pay the bills and deal with life's quirks Life is still an adventure but without all the thrills Drift back to those good times I will When life was free
From time to time I get together with friends I still run with most of the guys that I did back then We sit at a campfire and tell the same old stories over and over again Remembering the good times and wishing we were there again When life was free
