Days Gone By Lyrics

Used to be this was ranch land

Hundreds of cattle in the fields

Taxes too high, prices too low

They had to sell off deal by deal

Used to be this was a small town

Just one grocery store on Main

Now there's strip malls on every corner

Town don't look like where I was raised

Days gone by

Yesterday was just fine

Some folks say that's just light

Just a sequence of days gone by

Used to be there was a rail line

Running right past this house

Now the boxcars ain't rolling anymore

And the engine's crusted out

Used to be there was a Dairy Queen

Where we'd meet on Friday night

Now there's plywood on the windows

Cause the Sonic looks so damn nice

Days gone by

Yesterday was just fine

Some folks say that's just light

Just a sequence of days gone by

Used to be this was a country

Always knew wrong from right

Now all this political correctness

Has got us running from a fight

Used to be I was a young man

I was wild and I was free

But these days I'm getting older

And in Jesus, that's where I find peace

Days gone by

Yesterday was just fine

Some folks say that's just light

Just a sequence of days gone

Days gone by

Yesterday was just fine

Some folks say that's just light

Just a sequence of days gone by
