Those Were The Days

(Album: Kuntry - 2011)

Man you better believe
I remember all the fun times
Skipping class in high school and riding right by
Just to try us another new place for lunch
It was our senior year
It didn't mean that much, man
We'd already passed every class that mattered
And time was flying by so fast that it passed and shattered
Man, everything that we did was gonna be a memory
And we knew in our heart it would end eventually
But we couldn't be sad
We knew that would come in time
It was all about the parties and drinking and getting high
And at the parties it was all about the kegs of beer
Five dollars a cup, and put your keys right here
Not aware when I looked somebody in the face
In a year they'd be laying in a different place
What I wouldn't give just to go back spend one night
Cause I remember what it was like cause it

Had a full week of class but it's over now
Hand gripped on the wheel and we rolling out, man
Those were the days
With the house to myself and friends on the way
Not a care in the world and everything's okay
And those were the days
Those were the days

Back in the day I would say to myself
I really can't wait til I get up outta this school
I let the books slide a little bit
Cause I was focused on being cool
Playing football, partying, temptation of Bacardi
And being tardy, I got the teacher yelling like my guardian
Those Friday afternoons, that's was where it was at
I had the music up and the windows down, hat to the back
Acting crazy with my buddies, man that's all I did
And in reflection that's what you supposed to do when you a kid
You know, I really wanna go back sometimes at times to grade nine
Not a care in the world and feeling fine
But now I got work to do
I'm running errands
Things I didn't care about before
I finally started caring
I'm swearing those were the days
And now I know I lived a fast paced life
But now its kinda slow
But its okay now because I gotta look ahead
I got the memories still embedded in my head yeah

Had a full week of class but it's over now
Hand gripped on the wheel and we rolling out, man
Those were the days
With the house to myself and friends on the way
Not a care in the world and everything's okay
And those were the days
Those were the days
