Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Grandpa

Tell me 'bout the good old days

Sometimes it feels like

This world's gone crazy

[Verse 2]

Grandpa

Take me back to yesterday

When the line between right and wrong

Didn't seem so hazy

[Chorus]

Did lovers really fall in love to stay?

Stand beside each other, come what may

Was a promise really something people kept?

Not just something they would say

Did families really bow their heads to pray?

Did daddies really never go away?

Whoa-oh, Grandpa

Tell me 'bout the good old days

[Verse 3]

Grandpa

Everything is changing fast

We call it progress

But I just don't know

[Verse 4]

And Grandpa

Let's wander back into the past

Then paint me the picture of long ago

[Chorus]

Did lovers really fall in love to stay?

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?

Did daddies really never go away?

Whoa-oh, Grandpa

Tell me 'bout the good old days

[Chorus]

Whoa-oh, Grandpa

Tell me 'bout the good ole days

[Outro]

Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-hmm

Did families really bow their heads to pray?

Did daddies really never go away?
