When I was a boy, I had everything
I had silver and gold
I sailed ships with the cowboys
And I'd never grow old

And my father was strong
And my mother was young
Fell asleep in the backseat
'Til we got home

[Chorus]
Pick me up take me back where I belong
'Cause I don't know, anymore
I want to go home

And the sea was my country
And the fields were my den
And I'd sail a thousand ships
To get back again

Tell me when did I grow old
Tell me where can I go
To run in the tall grass
And lay in the snow

[Chorus]

Where are the railroad tracks
Where are the summers I used to know

When I was a boy, I had everything
I had silver and gold
