Back In The Day Lyrics

Whatever happened to those simple things like kookla fran and ollie

Not too far back it took way less just to make us jolly

Baseball on the radio ice cream from a churn

Those really were the good ole days

For which we had no idea we'd yearn

Back in the day was a phrase only dad would turn

Back in the day there was no money for us to burn

Back in the day we lived without any real concern

I'd hit the reset button now if back in the day I could return

Soon many will never know what it was like then growing up

Without computers cellphones or unsocial media

Not so long ago our tv was black and white

The convenience store was called lawson's

And we laughed easily when the kid would shout dy-no-mite

Back in the day was a phrase only dad would turn

Back in the day there was no money for us to burn

Back in the day we lived without any real concern

I'd hit the reset button now if back in the day I could return

Music was real music, a good story to be told

We rocked we rolled on roller skates to sounds both new and old

Not long past country songs were cash and nelson gold

Journey genesis elo and kiss our jukebox did hold

In those days we laughed too loud never thought of getting old

Back in the day was a phrase only dad would turn

Back in the day there was no money for us to burn

Back in the day we lived without any real concern

I'd hit the reset button now if back in the day I could return

Oh ya ya ya I'd hit the reset button now if back in the day I could return
