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 flying across the midnight sky

His tiny lights blinked off and on

I watched him move across the moon on high well

I blinked once and it was gone

Gone gone yeah

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 yeah

I blinked once and she was gone

Hey

I won big money on the gambling wheel

And I thought I'm sitting on a throne

Big John told me about his condo deal

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 that's right

It's gone gone

I blinked once and it was gone

Now old man's talking about a gun he'd shot

And he weren't much more than skin and bone

Lying there breathing on this worn out cot

I blinked once and he was gone

He was gone gone yeah

I blinked once and he was gone gone

I blinked once and he was gone GONE gone yeah

I blinked once and he was gone

Hey
