Jim Colyer Band is a free-wheeling, ever-changing thing. Members come and go. The one constant is my catalog of songs. I do some of the lead vocals but employ females as I write lots of girl songs.

Story behind the song
I wanted to tell what it was like growing up in the 1950s and early 60s. My sister had a collie in those years.
Lyrics
WHEN I WAS A BOY When I Was a Boy I played out in the yard Baseball with my friends At night we'd watch the stars These were the innocent years Filled with a simple joy Life was a carnival When I Was A Boy When I Was A Boy I did my time in school Dreaming of the girls A bored, romantic fool Running as fast as I could Making a path through the woods Saturday morning I was feeling good It seems so long ago Where it went I don't know But one thing I know Is when it's gone, it's gone It's slipping into the past They say that nothing can last And memories even fade With passing time When I Was A Boy My father drove a truck My sister had a dog My mother packed my lunch These were the innocent years Filled with simple joy Life was a carnival When I Was A Boy Music and laughter When I Was A Boy
