I Can Still Remember

Seventeen, down and out, poor friends together
When my Dad, proudly made my first guitar
We practiced everyday, over and over
A dream came true; our star was born in a local bar

I can still remember, how it's all begun
Singin' songs together, 'round the fire
Oh we had lots of fun
I can still remember, it seems like yesterday
Though the good old days are gone
They keep me hangin' on
Though the good old days are gone
They keep me hangin' on

We had no Buick, no Limousine, but a coster's barrow
That we borrowed, from the ragman in the street
We had to bring him beer, over and over
One day he said: "You may pay me, when you're number one"

I can still remember, how it's all begun
Singin' songs together, 'round the fire
Oh we had lots of fun
I can still remember, it seems like yesterday
Though the good old days are gone
They keep me hangin' on
Though the good old days are gone
They keep me hangin' on

I can still remember, it seems like yesterday
Though the good old days are gone
They keep me hangin' on
Though the good old days are gone
They keep me hangin' on
