Those Were The Days

Y'all remember growing up
Back when we was kids
Outside playing from sun up to sun down, baby
We didn't have a lot
But we found a lot to do
And those were the days

I'm riding around the city out of town I'm goin' to work
I told my boss to send me home cause city life gets on my nerves
I just need a little break right now fishing pole and a lake right now
A cold drink and a steak right now
This country boy about to break on down
I'm headed for them dirt roads and turning off my work phone
These work boots they gotta go and I'm coming out these work clothes
Gotta get on down to that country life

That's the only thing this boy knows

Backyard football games cooking on the grill under the oak tree shade
Grandma's sweet lemonade yeah those were the days
Used truck and rusted ol' paint
Still do the job putting money in the bank
And a country girl sittin' on my side yeah those were the days
Used to not have a worry in the world
Small town boy looking for a country girl
Chasing my dreams on these old dirt roads
Windows rolled down turning up the radio

Yeah those were the days

What I wouldn't give to go back to them days
Grandpa drive that truck around and grandma taught me how to pray
Even though my dad is gone my granny made it seem ok
Cause she taught me how to be a man and something's never change
Used to beg my uncle Ricky to let me ride in his Cutlass
That 350 rocket that car is really something

We was cruising on them back roads it don't get better
Man I wish them days could've lasted forever

Backyard football games cooking on the grill under the oak tree shade
Grandma's sweet lemonade yeah those were the days
Used truck and rusted ol' paint
Still do the job putting money in the bank
And a country girl sittin' on my side yeah those were the days
Used to not have a worry in the world
Small town boy looking for a country girl
Chasing my dreams on these old dirt roads
Windows rolled down turning up the radio

Yeah those were the days

I was just a young boy and I remember how it feels
To wake up in the morning don't stress about no bills
No worries in the world just to grab my fishin' reels
And find a country girl and all that on me disappears
We was running through the bushes splashing in the creeks
Fishing out the fishing holes trying to catch us a beast

Mud on my feet a couple holes in my jeans and
A white t-shirt that'd never stay clean

Backyard football games cooking on the grill under the oak tree shade
And a Grandma sweet lemonade yeah those were the days
Used truck with rusted ol' paint
still do the job putting money in the bank
And a country girl sittin' my side yeah those were the days
Used to not have a worry in the world
Small town boy looking for a country girl
Chasing my dreams on these old dirt roads
Windows rolled down turning up the radio
Yeah those were the days
