Back In The Day

(album: Our Country: Americana Act II - 2018)

Back in the day
When we were little kids
We used to imitate
The latest hit parade
And sang the good old songs
The radio would play

And those movie stars
Lived out a fantasy
With those pretty chicks
And those handsome dudes
And we danced the night away
Back in the day

Back in the day
We used to bunk off school
We used to break the rules
And sit in the movies all day
Till the nighttime came around
Back in the day

Wow. See that guy that asked me to dance?
I don't know him. How tall was he anyway?
Hmm. Did you see his socks? I mean who wears socks like that?
I don't know. Should have thought more about it.

Those old Hank Williams songs
The way Chet Atkins played
Big bands and Honky-tonk
And Dixieland bands marching on the parade
And Eddie Cochran strummed along
While Kay Starr sang her wheel of fortune song

Back in the day

Ooh, back in the day

Back in the day
When we were little kids
We used to imitate
The latest hit parade
And sang the good old songs
The radio would play

Back in the day
