The greatest songwriting team of all time.
Carol King and husband Gerry Goffin.
They penned one of my favorite Byrd's songs
Goin' Back.



Goin' Back
Carole King & Gerry Goffin

 I think I'm goin' back
 To the things I learned so well in my youth
 I think I'm returning to
 Those days when I was young enough to know the truth
 Now there are no games
 To only pass the time
 No more electric trains
 No more trees to climb
 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 ashamed to reach out to a friend
 Now I think I've got
 A lot more than just my toys to lend
 Now there's more to do
 Than watch my sailboat glide
 But every day can be
 A magic carpet ride
 A little bit of courage is all we lack
 So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back

 La la la la la, etc.
