Story Behind The Song

Looking back whistfully on my days as a teen, with so many memories of what seems like a simpler time.

Song Description

The lyrics say it all. :)

Lyrics

Found our names carved in a tree
Down by the old mill stream
Where we'd scheme and dream
Killin' it on a dare

Hangin' out way back then
Not lookin' 'round the bend
I still remember when
We never had a care

Maybe it was just a phase
Chasin' down the latest craze
But take me back to the good old days
The good old days

Kickin' 'round our old 'hood
Sometimes up to no good
Pulled pranks just 'cause we could
You and me side by side

'Member how we used to meet
Past lights on that dead-end street
Always tryin' to cheat
A little more from those nights

Cruisin' just to pass the day
Singin' what the radio played
Oh, take me back to the good old days
The good old days

If only we could have just stayed
In simple times with simple ways
Wish that we could fly away
All the way to yesterday
And the good old days
The good old days

In the yard at our old school
Worked hard at playin' it cool
Drew cards, kings, queens and fools
Learning the game of life

Cut class on history
Made our own out runnin' free
Rollin' to a beat
Out on those long joyrides

Cruisin' just to pass the day
Singin' what the radio played
Wont' you take me back to the good old days
The good old days
The good old days...
