YOU GUYS GOTTA ADMIT , WE HAD US A GREAT TIME GROWING UP .
WE DID ALL THE SAME THINGS . I LISTENED TO THE TIGERS ON THE POCKET A.M. RADIO , RODE MY BIKE ALL OVER CREATION , FISHED DOWN AT THE CREEK OR RIVER , HELPED PICK THE FIELDS WITH GRAMS AND GRAMPS .
AND IF WE WERE GOOD ALL WEEK, WE GOT US A ICECREAM DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON SATURDAY NIGHT . SUNDAYS WE HAD TO SIT ON THE COUCH AND LISTEN TO THE PREACHER IF WE WAS RUNNING TOO LATE TO MAKE A RESPECTIBLE ENTRANCE AT THE CHURCH .
SURE COULDN'T TELL MUCH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DAD'S BELT OR GRANDPA'S BELT , BOTH STUNG LIKE A SWARM OF BEES .
WE KNEW EVERYONE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEY KNEW US , NOBODY RIPPED OFF ANYBODY , YA ' DIDN'T POKE FUN OF ANYONE EITHER WITHOUT TASTING SOME LEATHER .
IF YA HAD A PROBLEM WITH ANOTHER KID WHOPPING ON YOU, DAD MADE SURE YA SETTELED IT , BY TAKING BEATING AFTER BEATING TILL YOU GAVE THE KID ONE IN RETURN , THEN YA' HAD TO SHAKE HIS HAND TO SHOW IT WAS ALL SETTELED AND OVER WITH .
GOSH I MISS THOSE DAYS .
