Nine Lyrics

[Intro]
Nine

[Verse 1]
I remember nine
As if it were yesterday
I can hear my friends outside of my window
Say, "Can you come out and play?"
Anna brought a bag of her mama's cooking spoons
So we could dig a hole and to try to reach China
And get there by early noon

[Bridge]
Our imaginations soared on golden wings
Across a sky filled with dreams
Any child could wear a paper crown
And be a king or queen at nine
La-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da

[Verse 2]
I remember days of playing without a care
Coming home with sniffles and clothes hanging off me
With leaves in my hair
Everybody's child belonged to the neighborhood
So you could tell your troubles to old Aunt Savannah
'Cause she always understood

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Running endless through a field
Of emerald green beneath a broad open sky
I will treasure all my days
When I was innocent and free at nine
Nine

[Outro]
Runnin' and jumpin' and skippin' and laughin'
Rollin' and shakin' and jokin' and hidin'
Mother May I, Simon Says, you're it, you spit
Hide and seek, you peeked, no I didn't, yes you did
You're not fair, I don't care, I saw Sammy's underwear, ha-ha, ha-ha
Double Dutch, kickball, hop scotch, bobby socks
Mary Mack all dressed in black
Who is that? Can she play jacks?
I'm the doctor, you're the nurse
What you mean, I was first
Shovin' and pushin' and cryin' and screamin'
Dreamin' and beamin' and dancing in a line
You show me yours, I'll show you mine
Uh-uh, I'm going home, it's dinner time
Nine
Nine
Nine
Nine
