When I was just a little boy
we'd head up to the farm
All us kids would go to the fishing pond.
Mama would always tell us
don't wander off too far.
I looked at her with a smile
and say
CHORUS:
Isn't that what it's all about
wandering and looking around
finding out what's out there
and what your world is all about,
Isn't that what life's all about (pause)
WANDERING AROUND
I grew up and started dating,
had a girl of my own.
We head out to the mall just to hang out.
She'd go her way and I'd go mine.
Then she'd look at me
and say don't wander off too far.
CHORUS:
LEAD
Now that I am a dad
and have kids of my own,
Any time that we're out and the kids are on their own.
I find myself speaking the words of my mom
I look at them and tell them
don't wander off too far
BUT
CHORUS X 2
