Owsley - Good Old Days lyrics

rate me

I went back home the other day<br />

To see some old friends that I used to know<br />

It was strange to see what all had changed<br />

But just like me my hometown had to grow<br />

<br />

On lazy Sunday afternoons<br />

We used to drive around the neighborhood<br />

But as I look around I see<br />

That nothing really looks the way it should<br />

<br />

There's a parking lot where the church used to be<br />

And the old town drunk changed his ways<br />

Still my mind goes wandering down memory lane<br />

Looking 'round for the good old days<br />

<br />

My high-school sweetheart's married off<br />

With two kids and another on the way<br />

And my coach I hardly recognized<br />

His thick black hair has slowly turned to grey<br />

<br />

All the debutantes and the homecoming queen<br />

Have taken kids on to raise<br />

Still my mind goes wandering down memory lane<br />

Looking 'round for the good old days<br />

<br />

When I find myself romancing now<br />

Of the way that it used to be<br />

I can't help thinking someday<br />

That it's coming back to me<br />

But I've never been the kind<br />

To see the forest for the trees<br />

<br />

Looking back on yesterday<br />

Never was my favorite thing to do<br />

But that's OK it's just as well<br />

It's seems as though there's less to hold on to<br />

<br />

There's a parking lot where the church used to be<br />

And the old town drunk changed his ways<br />

Still my mind goes wandering down memory lane<br />

Looking 'round for the good old days
