WE WOULD COME OUT HERE WHEN WE WERE YOUNG
MESS ABOUT IN THE RIVER AND HAVE SOME FUN,
RUN THROUGH THE CORNFIELDS, AND CLIMB SOME TREES,
HEAR THE CONSTANT SOUND OF HONEY BEES

THOSE EARLY DAYS OF INNOCENCE
WE WERE WILD AND CAREFREE THEN,
SO WHY DO THINGS CHANGE SO MUCH
WHEN BOYS' HAVE TO BECOME MEN !!
(CHORUS)
        THOSE CAREFREE DAYS OF SUMMER
        YOUNG PEOPLE HAVING FUN
        MESSING ABOUT, DOING SILLY THINGS
        OUT IN THE MID-DAY SUN....
        YOUNG GIRLS IN PINK BIKINIS
        BOYS WITH ATTITUDE
        A TIME WHEN EVERYONE LOVES TO SEE
        YOUNG PEOPLE HAVING FUN.....
        YOUNG PEOPLE HAVING FUN.....
       

SPECIAL DAYS I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER
LONG  DAYS LAZYING IN THE SUN,
THOSE DAYS THAT SHAPED ME INTO,
THE PERSON THAT I'VE BECOME

THE GENTLE FLOW OF THE RIVER
PILES OF CLOTHES LAYING ON THE GROUND,
THE EXCITED SOUND OF YOUNG LOVERS,
HOPING THEY WON'T BE FOUND !!
(BRIDGE)
        IT WAS A TIME WHEN FRIENDSHIPS
        WERE FORMED, BONDS THAT WOULD LAST
        FOR ALL TIME, DREAMS AND AMBITIONS
        WERE SHARED, WITH FRIENDS THAT WOULD
        LAST A LIFETIME !!
(CHORUS)
        THOSE CAREFREE DAYS OF SUMMER
        YOUNG PEOPLE HAVING FUN
        MESSING ABOUT, DOING SILLY THINGS
        OUT IN THE MID-DAY SUN
        YOUNG GIRLS IN PINK BIKINIS
        BOYS WITH ATTITUDE
        A TIME WHEN EVERYONE LOVES TO SEE
        YOUNG PEOPLE HAVING FUN......
        YOUNG PEOPLE HAVING FUN......
        YOUNG PEOPLE HAVING FUN......

Another great song with the country vibe! I love this. The chorus is strong I think but I really like the line "so why do things have to change so much, when boys have to become men" that stuck out to me. Which country artists do you listen to to get your inspiration for songs (assuming you do)? I just really want to listen to some some more country artists.

Could you check out my song Walked Out please? It's one of the more countrier songs that I've done

once again thanks booboo, when i write a song, i try to make it more of a little story, with a begining and an end, something to keep people interested so they keep reading, i will check your song out now, then give you some feedback, look out for another track of mine called LOOKING FOR LUCY.
cheers booboo

Hi Kevin,

I love this song; it's got a very positive vibe about it that leaves you with a smile on your face!!  It flowed well & would be easy to set to a melody.  I especially like the lines "SPECIAL DAYS I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER, LONG  DAYS LAZYING IN THE SUN, THOSE DAYS THAT SHAPED ME INTO, THE PERSON THAT I'VE BECOME" it brings you back to the present day for a few moments before drifting back to past memories.

Nice one

Kev
