Grandpa tell me 'bout the good old days
Grandpa everything is changing fast

Sometimes it feels like this world's gone crazy
We call it progress but I just don't know

Grandpa take me back to yesterday
And Grandpa lets wander back into the past

When the line between right and wrong
then paint me the picture

didn't seem so hazy
of long ago
G
Did lovers really fall in love to stay
D
And stand beside each other come what may

Was a promise really something people kept

Not just something they would say (and then forget)

Did families really bow their heads to pray
D
Did daddies really never go away
Em G D
Oh, Oh Grandpa tell me bout the good old days
