[Verse] Back when the sun rose over the barn, And the rooster crowed to start the morn, We’d saddle up and head to the field, Working hard, but the joy was real. [Verse 2] Mama’s biscuits on the wood stove hot, Daddy’s stories ‘bout the life he got, Sundays spent in the church pew row, Back in the good old days of long ago. [Chorus] Oh, the good old days, where the time moved slow, With a handshake deal and hearts aglow, When the simple things were all we’d know, Take me back to the good old days of long ago. [Verse 3] Kids ran free through the summer haze, Catching fireflies in twilight’s blaze, The creek was cool, and the sky so wide, Every moment felt like home inside. [Bridge] We didn’t need much, just love and land, A small front porch and a helping hand, The laughter echoed, the nights were kind, Those memories are what I long to find. [Chorus] Oh, the good old days, where the time moved slow, With a handshake deal and hearts aglow, When the simple things were all we’d know, Take me back to the good old days of long ago.
