He was thirteen in a grown man's body
I was sixty pounds soaken wet
And he'd bully me out of my milk money
Just to keep him in cigarettes
He was no stranger to the 5th grade
Biggest child I'd ever seen
Double up his fists, double me over
Cause I wasn't yellow, just a little green
Chorus:
Oh but what I'd give to see him now and reintroduce myself
Resurrect some childhood memories put some new ones on the shelf
And if he didn't remember me I'd sure remind him
I wish he'd walk through that door
Cause I'm not so little anymore
I was going out for the football team
My big dream finally here
When the coach walked up and said hey boy
Little girls ain't welcome round here
I could jump like a deer and run like the wind
But he never played me one game
I sat on the bench ignored and forgotten
Don't even think he ever knew my name
CHORUS
Instrumental break:
So I sat beside some blue-eyed angel
And man I fell in love
She was two years older and I would've told her
But I never got the courage up
Last Chorus:
Oh but what I'd give to see her now and reintroduce myself
Resurrect some childhood memories put some new ones on the shelf
And if she didn't remember me I'd sure remind her
I wish she'd walk through that door
Cause I'm not so little anymore
I was sixty pounds soaken wet
And he'd bully me out of my milk money
Just to keep him in cigarettes
He was no stranger to the 5th grade
Biggest child I'd ever seen
Double up his fists, double me over
Cause I wasn't yellow, just a little green
Chorus:
Oh but what I'd give to see him now and reintroduce myself
Resurrect some childhood memories put some new ones on the shelf
And if he didn't remember me I'd sure remind him
I wish he'd walk through that door
Cause I'm not so little anymore
I was going out for the football team
My big dream finally here
When the coach walked up and said hey boy
Little girls ain't welcome round here
I could jump like a deer and run like the wind
But he never played me one game
I sat on the bench ignored and forgotten
Don't even think he ever knew my name
CHORUS
Instrumental break:
So I sat beside some blue-eyed angel

Resurrect some childhood memories put some new ones on the shelf
And if she didn't remember me I'd sure remind her
