Lyrics

Verse:

Hey You
Just getting settled in
I sure could use a friend
tell me how are things back there?

It feels strange
being out in the world
still a Hometown girl
but with city dust in my hair

Chorus:

I think of those days in your Mama?s kitchen
studying after school
our books were open
our mouths were runnin?
cuttin? up like fools
Yea Yea, Those were the good old days

Verse:

Hey you
I?m sorry I didn?t right
we?re in a great big fight and
the baby doesn?t sleep so well

Maybe
when the laundry is done
and the errands are run
I?ll take a minute for myself

Chorus:

I think of those days in the bright new city
Chasing down my dreams
My heart was open
The world was willing
To give them all to me
Yea Yea, Those were the good old days

Bridge:

Oh you know me so well
and you?re always right
Change is hard but change is good
and I don?t want to miss my life

Chorus:

I think of the days when there?s milk on the carpet
And she can?t find her shoes
In the evening we end up where we started
With a hundred things left to do
Yea Yea, These are the good old days
We?ve got it made. These are the good old days.
