Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days

Sometimes it feels like this world's gone crazy

And Grandpa, take me back to yesterday

When the line between right and wrong

Didn't seem so hazy



Did lovers really fall in love to stay

And 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?

Oh, Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days



Grandpa, everything is changing fast

We call it progress, but I just don't know

And Grandpa, let's wander back into the past

And paint me the picture of long ago



Did lovers really fall in love to stay

And 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?

Oh, Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days

Oh, Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
