[Verse 1] Granddad kept his boots by the kitchen door Rain on the tin and a dog on the floor We'd pile in the Chevy, six of us tight Headed to the county fair on Saturday night [Chorus] Take me back to the good old times When a dollar bought a week of sunshine We had little, but we had enough A front porch swing and a family to trust Take me back, let the old road wind Those simple days still live in my mind [Verse 2] Mama packed sandwiches in a paper sack Daddy sang low with his hat laid back The radio crackled through every mile And nobody minded when it lost the dial [Chorus] Take me back to the good old times When a dollar bought a week of sunshine We had little, but we had enough A front porch swing and a family to trust Take me back, let the old road wind Those simple days still live in my mind [Bridge] Now the years roll on and the kids grow tall But I still hear that screen door call One worn-out photograph, edges turning brown Can carry a whole young life around [Verse 3] We'd cool our feet by the creek at noon Trade tall tales underneath the moon When the porch light blinked, we'd head inside With the smell of summer still on our hide [Final Chorus] Take me back to the good old times When a dollar bought a week of sunshine We had little, but we had enough A front porch swing and a family to trust Take me back, let the old road wind Those simple days still live in my mind Yes, those simple days still live in my mind [Outro] Granddad's boots by the kitchen door And that old song playing once more
