Grandpa
Tell me 'bout the good old days
Sometimes it seems like
This world's gone crazy
Grandpa
Take me back to yesterday
When the line between right and wrong
Didn't seem so hazy

Did lovers really fall in love to stay?
Stand beside each other, come what may?
Is promise really something people kept
Not just something they would say

Did families really bow their heads to pray?
Did daddies really never go away?
Whoa-oh Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days

Grandpa
Everything is changing fast
We call it progress
But I just don't know
Grandpa
Let's wander back into the past
Then paint me the picture
Of long ago

Did lovers really fall in love to stay?
Stand beside each other, come what may?
Was a promise really something people kept?
Not just something they would say and then forget

Did families really bow their heads to pray
Did daddies really never go away?
Whoa-oh Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
Whoa-oh Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days

Did lovers really fall in love to stay?
Stand beside each other, come what may?
Was a promise really something people kept?
Not just something they would say and then forget

Did families really bow their heads to pray
Did daddies really never go away?
Whoa-oh Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
Whoa-oh Grandpa, tell me 'bout the good old days
