the wonder years

Summertime with mat herold in the valley
the heat is coming, the smells are returning
I grew up here, I found the world here, I was happy here

Happy in the truest sense
My childhood was unimaginably good
I was perhaps the luckiest kid
And perhaps thats why I am disappointed now

Most kids need parenting
but I was the perfect kid

I was athletic, cute, smart, funny and curious
I was humble and innocent and carefree....I was 9 years old

summer in this valley for a kid like me is like Hawaii for Hawaiians
Everything just made sense
Food, sports, toys, cartoons, and sunburns

The clinton years, the AYSO years, the waterpark years, the wonder years
God bless the kids
