Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got bills on my desk
Overtime on my brain
Mandatory weekends
And the next 10 days of rain
My wife says "pick a side"
I'm just trying to survive
I miss the simple days
When we had more down time
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me out of this game
Let me reset today
I want one day
I won't forget
[Chorus]
Back to the sandbox
Let me be a little kid again
Back to the sandbox
Somebody can take care of me then
Shove all your plans, as I crap my pants
I want soft hands, wet-wiping my can
Back to the sandbox
Taking my toys for a spin
Back to the sandbox
Let me be a little kid again
[Verse 2]
No mortgage monsters here
No boss in my ear
No awkward dinner silence
No "we need to be clear"
Cracker crumbs and Tonka trucks
Sunny warm patch of ground
I could trade this grown-up mess
For pudding and sand all around
[Pre-Chorus]
Take me out of this game
Let me reset today
I want one day
I won't forget
[Chorus]
Back to the sandbox
Let me be a little kid again
Back to the sandbox
Somebody can take care of me then
I know, I know
I gotta pay my way
But I'm tired of being strong
Every single day
Let me fold up small
Let me lose my name
For a minute I was fearless
Now I know no more shame
[Chorus]
Back to the sandbox
Let me be a little kid again
Back to the sandbox
