I'm wastin' half of my life just lookin' back Thinkin' all of my good times were in the past Ain't no joy to be found livin' life like that I couldn't feel the sunshine on my face Everywhere that I'd go I'd feel out of place Finally figured out I'd never win that race Now I'm amazed to find These are the good ole days that we've been livin' No more lookin' back all is forgivin' Ain't gonna live my life through no picture frame These are the good ole days Seems like people get lost talkin' 'bout some day
Something better will come and take them away Never realize 'til it's too late It's the simple things that make life worthwhile Like a warm summer day or a laughin' child Or how it makes me feel just to see you smile Baby you know it's true These are the good ole days that we've been livin' No more lookin' back all is forgivin' Ain't gonna live my life through no picture frame These are the good ole days These are the good ole days
