Grandpa (Tell Me ’Bout the Good Old Days) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Grandpa
Tell me 'bout the good old days
Sometimes it feels like
This world's gone crazy
[Verse 2]
Grandpa
Take me back to yesterday
When the line between right and wrong
Didn't seem so hazy
[Chorus]
Did lovers really fall in love to stay
And stand beside each other come what may?
Was a promise really somethin' people kept
Not just somethin' they would say?
Did families really bow their heads to pray?
Did daddies really never go away?
Whoa-oh, Grandpa
Tell me 'bout the good old days
[Verse 3]
Grandpa
Everything is changin' fast
We call it progress
But I just don't know
Grandpa
Tell me 'bout the good old days
Sometimes it feels like
This world's gone crazy
[Verse 2]
Grandpa
Take me back to yesterday
When the line between right and wrong
Didn't seem so hazy
[Chorus]
Did lovers really fall in love to stay
And stand beside each other come what may?
Was a promise really somethin' people kept
Not just somethin' they would say?
Did families really bow their heads to pray?
Did daddies really never go away?
Whoa-oh, Grandpa
Tell me 'bout the good old days
[Verse 3]
Grandpa
Everything is changin' fast
We call it progress
But I just don't know
[Verse 4]
And Grandpa
Let's wonder back into the past
And paint me the picture
Of long ago
[Chorus]
Did lovers really fall in love to stay
Stand beside each other come what may?
Was a promise really something people kept
Not just something they would say and then forget?
Did families really bow their heads to pray?
Did daddies really never go away?
Whoa-oh, Grandpa
Tell me 'bout the good old days
Whoa-oh, Grandpa
Tell me 'bout the good old days
[Outro]
Did families really bow their heads to pray?
Did daddies really never go away?
And Grandpa
Let's wonder back into the past
And paint me the picture
Of long ago
[Chorus]
Did lovers really fall in love to stay
Stand beside each other come what may?
Was a promise really something people kept
Not just something they would say and then forget?
Did families really bow their heads to pray?
Did daddies really never go away?
Whoa-oh, Grandpa
Tell me 'bout the good old days
Whoa-oh, Grandpa
Tell me 'bout the good old days
[Outro]
Did families really bow their heads to pray?
Did daddies really never go away?
