Good Old Days

(album: 99 Miles From L.A. - 1975)

And all the sad young men
Parading through there lives
The girls that they have loved have now
Become expensive wifes
They think they know it all
And in some ways they do
They reaching out for better times
If they only knew

These are the good old days
This is the best time of my life
The best I've ever known
And it won't ever the same again
These are the good old days
And when my clothes are out of style
And life is slowing down
I know what I have done

And all the sad young men
Go marching of to war
The old men shake their heads and say
We've seen it all before
But how are they to know
The lesson takes so long
And by the time we found the answer, live is almost gone

These are the good old days
This is the best time of my life
The best I've ever known
And it won't ever be the same again
And when my clothes are out of style
And life is slowing down
I know what I have done
