I Was Here

I got to go on a field trip to the stables with my class
But I rubbed my eyes red, I was allergic to the horses and the grass
And also to the little white flowers, growing on the hedge
I had to go inside, and lay around on a bed
Sucking on peppermints, wet paper towels on my face
Waiting for the other kids a little out of place
It was okay but it wasn't the best day of the year

I was here
This is where I was
I was here
This is where I was

It started raining so we went outside to play
My sister and I tied bars of soap to our feet and tried to skate
It didn't really work, but it was fun anyway
I told the babysitter I was allowed to stay up late

I was here
This is where I was
I was here
This is where I was

Fall, summer, winter, and spring
Pretzels, pumpkins, tiddlywinks
Hopscotch, hula hoop, baloney and cheese on white bread sandwiches
Get a fever and a cough stay home and watch TV
A can of noodle soup with orange Hi-C
Build a tent in the backyard, tie it to a tree
We'll sleep in there all night

My mom and I walked up the driveway under the tall tree
Pecans on the ground crunching under our feet
Nana let us in when she saw through the screen door
Get an Eskimo Pie from the icebox drawer

I was here
This is where I was
I was here
This is where I was
