Childhood often seemed a pain to me
So hard waiting to be grown
Childhood climbed up in a white oak tree
I blinked once and it was gone

Airplane flyin across the midnight sky
His tiny lights blinked off and on
I watched 'im move across the moon on high
I blinked once and it was gone, gone, gone
I blinked once and it was gone

A girl I'd met was all I cared for , friends
I called her my very own
We went down to hear the band begin
I blinked once and she was gone, gone, gone
I blinked once and it was gone

I won big money on the gamblin wheel
And I thought i's sittin on a throne
Big john told me bout his condo deal
I blinked once and It was gone, gone, gone
I blinked once and it was gone

The nineteen seventies was ten long years
Was ten long years to sing a song
It kicked off madly with a new Year's cheer
I blinked once and it was gone, gone, gone
I blinked once and it was gone

Now old man's talkin bout a gun he'd shot
And he weren't much more than skin an bone
Lyin' there breathin on this worn out cot
I blinked once and he was gone, gone, gone,
I blinked once and he was gone
