Old days and memories are calling you now To glories that you never knew Some things are better remembered somehow The old days are gone, hallelujah. Out in the country, the fourth of July Searching for something to save Something to bury, something to fly The old days are gone, hallelujah. Way over the water Tomorrow is coming to you In the old days you held it in the palm of your hand The old days are gone, hallelujah. Way over the water Way over the edge In the old days we had it all figured out The old days are gone, hallelujah. Fixing your coffee and shining your shoes Praying for somewhere to go In the old days your somewheres were chosen for you The old days are gone, hallelujah. The old days are gone, hallelujah. Hallelujah.
