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
(Chorus)
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 till it's too late
It's the simple things that make life worth while
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
(Repeat Chorus x3)
