[Slim]

With misty eyes we reminisce

About the good old days,

Family and friends, the old home town, 

Are easy goin' ways,



[Shorty]

They don't do things the way we did,

They don't know how.



[Slim & Shorty]

But these will be the good old days,

Twenty years from now.



[Slim]

Age will fade the heartaches, 

Time will dry the tears,

Memories of good times, 

Glow brighter through the years.



[Shorty]

But songs will sound much sweeter then;

They age like wine,



[Slim]

Troubles too will drop away

Like leaves falls from the vine.



[Slim & Shorty]

And when the band plays it's last waltz

And takes its final bow,

These will be the good old days,

Twenty years from now.



[Instrumental]

And takes its final bow.



[Slim and Shorty]

Yes these will be the good old days,

Twenty years from now.

Remember these will be the good old days,

Twenty years from now. That's right!
