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

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?
Families really bow their heads to pray
Daddies really never go away
Oh, 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
And paint me the picture of long ago

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 forget
Families really bow their heads to pray
Daddies really never go away
Oh, Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
Oh, Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
