[Verse 1] Back when the porch light worked And the whole block knew your name A screen door slammed like thunder And nobody locked their doors We shared one phone on the wall Tangled cord, long line If you missed the call, you missed it Still, everything was fine [Pre-Chorus] No feeds, no noise Just dust and grass and bikes We were rich in little things And I still feel that life [Chorus] Back in the day, back in the day We made it simple that way Back in the day, back in the day A little went a long, long way (Back in the day) We laughed till the dark turned blue (Back in the day) Wish I could go back to you [Verse 2] Lunchbox dented on the side Crumpled cash in my hand Radio in the kitchen Song I still understand We drew lines with sidewalk chalk Then the rain washed them clean No one needed ten opinions To tell us what they mean [Pre-Chorus] No rush, no race Just Saturday and friends We had more time to waste And somehow more than enough [Chorus] Back in the day, back in the day We made it simple that way Back in the day, back in the day A little went a long, long way (Back in the day) We laughed till the dark turned blue (Back in the day) Wish I could go back to you [Bridge] Maybe I don't miss the weather Maybe I miss the names The front steps, the old mistakes The friends who never changed If I close my eyes, I'm there Bare feet on the floor The simple life was not perfect But I don't ask for more [Chorus] Back in the day, back in the day We made it simple that way Back in the day, back in the day A little went a long, long way (Back in the day) We laughed till the dark turned blue (Back in the day) Wish I could go back to you [Outro] Back in the day Back in the day A little went a long, long way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Back in the day
