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

(conversation)

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
