Lyrics
THOSE WERE BETTER DAYS
I was always throwing toys and making noise and drivin momma crazy
Used my crayons on the wall momma knew another whoopin' wouldn't faze me
The minute she was done I'd start again
THOSE WERE BETTER DAYS
I moved up to lighting fires spinning tires and stealing daddy's beer
(Lacking fornication masturbation got me thru those teenage years)
I had no sense at all and I thank god he got me through my teenage years
But I new it all you couldn't tell me nothin'
THOSE WERE BETTER DAYS
I bet by now your thinking huh this sounds like me
I guess its true were really all the same?
Just sugar coat your story
And try to tell it with a smile
As long as you don't have to take the blame
(It wasn't me)
Solo
My best friend applied to college I applied myself to working on my tan
Responsibility to me was makin' change redeeming my beer cans
But it helped me get that old Camaro runnin'
THOSE WERE BETTER DAYS
I know you're still thinking hey he's singin' bout me'
Yeah it's true we're really all the same
Put the pedal to the metal and try to out-run father time
But in the end he always wins the race
Some how I lived long enough to take a wife and start a family
They look up to me and see the man I never ever thought I'd be
I don't think I'll ever say again
THOSE WERE BETTER DAYS
