  • Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
    Sometimes it feels like this world's gone crazy
    Grandpa, take me back to yesterday
    When the line between right and wrong
    Didn't seem so hazy

    Did lovers really fall in love to stay
    And stand beside each other, come what may?
    Was a promise really something people kept
    Not just something they would say
    Did families really bow their heads to pray?
    Did daddies really never go away?
    Whoa, whoa, grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days

    Grandpa, everything is changing fast
    We call it progress, but I just don't know
    And grandpa, let's wander back into the past
    Then paint me the picture of long ago

    Did lovers really fall in love to stay
    And 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, whoa, grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
    Whoa, whoa, grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days

    Mm
    Mm

    Did families really bow their heads to pray?
    Did daddies really never go away? Writer/s: Jamie O'hara
