Going back( cover of dusty springfield song by kenny mac)

[kenny mac]

written byGerry Goffin/carol king ,this song was done by dusty springfield in 1966.
The song is beautiful and the lyrics touch me so much.
Ive put a more modern slant on it but the lyrics still hit me when I hear them.
just close your eyes and think about your childhood and growing up.
Hope you guys like it.

think I'm goin' back
To the things I learned so well in my youth,
I think I'm returning to
The days when I was young enough to know the truth

Now there are no games
To only pass the time
No more coloring books,
No Christmas bells to chime
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
And I can play the game of life to win

I can recall a time,
When I wasn't afraid to reach out to a friend
And now I think I've got
A lot more than my toys to lend

Now there's more to do
Than watch my sailboat glide
Then everyday can be my magic carpet ride
And I can play hide and seek with my fears,
And live my life instead of counting my years

Let everyone debate the true reality,
I'd rather see the world the way it used to be
A little bit of freedom, all we're left
So catch me if you can
I'm goin' back

[Redler]

I hadn't heard Dusty's version of this song but I remember The Byrds covered it, too. Great vocal, and I really like how your electric guitar and synths blend with the harmonica.

This is a beauty of a cover - well done, kenny.
