Mark Lehnhoff - When I Was Younger Lyrics

Can't say I always used good sense
When I was younger
There always seemed to be in me
A restless kind of hunger
Sometimes wonder
That I'm still alive today
Bet you could say the same
In your own way

So, I give thanks for everyday
That I'm blessed to live
I will not for granted take
What I have to give

Cause I'm a boy from Missouri
Raised in the hills
And you better believe
There's a part of me still
That's runnin' through the woods
​Laughin' in the wind
Stackin' up bales as fast as I can
Weedin' strawberry's
Splittin' up wood
Grandpa said, Terry
​Are you feedin' him good?
Grandma used to
Bounce me up and down on her knee
Yeah, that's just about
​All there is to me

Momma helped me catch fireflies
And to look up at the stars
Dad taught me how to fix things
And he bought my first guitar
More important than anything
They taught me how to pray
To the God who sent His Son to save
Gave His life, 'rose from the grave

So, I give thanks for everyday
That I'm blessed to live
I will not for granted take
What I have to give

Cause I'm a boy from Missouri
Raised in the hills
And you better believe
There's a part of me still
That's runnin' through the woods
​Laughin' in the wind
Stackin' up bales as fast as I can
Weedin' strawberry's
Splittin' up wood
Grandpa said, Terry
​Are you feedin' him good?
Grandma used to
Bounce me up and down on her knee
Yeah, that's just about
​All there is to me

So, I give thanks for everyday
That I'm blessed to live
I will not for granted take
What I have to give

Cause I'm a boy from Missouri
Raised in the hills
And you better believe
There's a part of me still
That's runnin' through the woods
​Laughin' in the wind
Stackin' up bales as fast as I can
Weedin' strawberry's
Splittin' up wood
Grandpa said, Terry
Are you feedin' him good?
Grandma used to
Bounce me up and down on her knee
Yeah, that's just about
​All there is to me
