[Verse 1] I grew up in the little southern town Of Daisy Tennessee Life was simple And the days were sweet We played outside And made mud pies Hung upside down From dogwood trees And sometimes skinned our knees [Verse 2] We walked to the corner store Bought candy and a Coke With the nickels and dimes That slipped from Daddy’s pockets There were always chores But free time too Friends came over Played HORSE til supper [Chorus] Yes, I grew up in Daisy Where the days were easy And the summers rolled along Our house was filled with song Classical, rock and soul Playing on Mama’s stereo Piano music and the radio [Verse 3] Happy to be out of school We’d swim at the public pool So hungry and tired A hot dog tasted better than pie Storm clouds rolled in As the daylight dimmed We’d nap while Mama’s records played And the rain came pouring in [Bridge] I’d love to be back in time Listen to music with my Mama Hear Daddy play harmonica Those days were easy and free Mama and Daddy loved me [Chorus] Yes, I grew up in Daisy Where the days were easy And the summers rolled along Our house was filled with song Classical, rock and soul Playing on Mama’s stereo Piano music and the radio
