Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Someday about twenty five years from now
When we've all grown old from a wondering how
Oh we'll all sit down at the city dump
And talk about the goodle days
Oh you'll pass the joint and I'll pass the wine
And anything good from a down the line
A lot of good things went down one time
Back in the goodle days
[Verse 2]
And the good old days
Are past and gone
A lot of good people have done gone on
That's my life when I sing this song about
Back in the goodle days
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I get to thinking that we're almost done
And there ain't nothing left that we can figure out
And I guess it must have seemed a lot more like that
Back in the goodle days
But when you gotta go, ya gotta go
There's always somebody, don'tcha know
A hangin' around and a sayin', well, I told you so
Back in the goodle days
[Verse 4]
And the good old days
Are past and gone
A lot of good people have done gone on
That's my life when I sing this song about
Back in the goodle days
[Verse 5]
Oh we'll all join hands
And we'll gather round
When that old guitar starts
To make that sound
A lot of good things went down, down, down
Back in the goodle days
We's in love with the people that we hadn't even met
Out for anything that we could get
Oh we did it then, and we'll do it yet
Back in the goodle days
[Verse 6]
Yeah, the good old days
Are past and gone
A lot of good people have done gone on
That's my life when I sing this song about
Back in the goodle days
